Uranus Wall Art including Frame T-shirts Citizen scientist Kevin MUranus is the only giant planet whose equator is nearly at right angles to its orbit. A collision with an Earth sized object may explain the unique tilt. Nearly a twin in size to Neptune, Uranus has more methane in its mainly hydrogen and helium atmosphere than Jupiter or Saturn. Methane gives Uranus its blue tint. Discovered: March 13, 1781 by William Herschel. Distance from the Sun: About 1. 8 billion miles, about 19 times further than the Earth.
