Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun and the third largest planet in our Solar System. Uranus is about 4 times the diameter of the Earth. Uranus is composed primarily of gas and various ices. The gravity on Uranus is 91% of the gravity on Earth. NASA's Voyager 2 is the only spacecraft to have visited the planet (January 1986).
