Equatorial Diameter: 51,118 km

Polar Diameter: 49,946 km

Mass: 8.68 × 10^25 kg (15 Earths)

Effective Temperature: -216 °C

Moons: 27 (Miranda, Titania, Ariel, Umbriel & Oberon)

Rings: 13

Fact: Uranus hits the coldest temperatures of any planet.

Uranus is mostly made up of ice and gas. Once through one is through the atmosphere of hydrogen and helium its surface is made of water, methane, and ammonia fluids above a rocky center. These waters are below freezing temperature but due to the methane and Jupiter's atmospheric pressure does not freeze, but rather liquifies into a congealed state.

Sketch of Shift Turtle

One of Jupiter's most unique animal is the Shift Turtle. The Shift Turtle is able to be frozen alive and once thawed out still be alive. Its abnormally long fin helps the turtle swim through the heavy waters. This turtle eats small bacteria found floating through the freezing waters and glaciers.

The Shift Turtle got its name by how quickly it can shift through the heavy waters.
