Uranus

Today's planet of the week, as chosen by my daughter in her choice of school library books, is Uranus.  To be clear, Uranus has a funny name, but only if you pronounce it incorrectly.  It's not pronounced "Your Anus".  I'll admit, there are plenty of jokes to make out of that, but only because you're not saying the planet's name correctly.  The proper way to say Uranus is "Your-uh-nus".



Uranus is the 7th planet from the Sun in our Solar System.  It's a gas giant, larger than the Earth, but smaller than Jupiter and Saturn.  Uranus has rings, but not nearly as prominent as Saturn's rings.

One more planet to go in this series and that's Jupiter!
