I ts day lasts for 17.2 hours and its temperature is -280 degrees Fahrenheit (that’s cold!). It is the seventh planet away from the sun, a distance of 1.8 billion miles.

I ts surface consists mostly of hydrogen gas as well as some helium gas. 25% of its atmosphere is comprised of gas.






Its atmosphere can be stormy, but not as active or stormy as Jupiter or Saturn. Because of this, its surface is fairly uniform and featureless.
