Uranus Coloring Page
Uranus is the seventh planet, and the drawing shows the odd thing about it straight away: the rings run up and down the page rather than across it.
Large open areas make this an easy sheet to finish, so it works well for a younger child colouring alongside an older sibling on Jupiter or Saturn.

The planet on its side
Uranus is tipped over by about 98 degrees, so it rolls around the Sun rather than spinning upright. Astronomers think an enormous collision early in its history knocked it over.
An ice giant
Uranus is not made of rock like Earth or mostly hydrogen like Jupiter. Beneath its atmosphere is a slushy mixture of water, ammonia and methane ices, which is why it is called an ice giant.
Why it looks blue-green
Methane in the upper atmosphere absorbs red light and reflects blue-green back, giving the planet its quiet colour. Blue and green pencils are the honest choice here.
Fun facts
- Uranus takes 84 Earth years to orbit the Sun once.
- It has 13 faint rings and more than 27 moons.
- Uranus was the first planet discovered with a telescope, in 1781.
