FUN FACT: Uranus rolls around the Sun on its side, tilted at 98 degrees. 🌌

This tilt means 42 years of day then 42 years of night at each pole.

31,381 objects are tracked in orbit right now, some from similarly odd angles.

FUN FACT: Why do total solar eclipses happen? The Sun is about 400 times wider than the Moon, and also 400 times further away. They appear the same size from Earth.

No other planet-moon pair we know is this perfect.

FUN FACT: The Sun isn't a solid ball—it spins differently at the equator and poles. The equator completes a spin in 25 days, while the poles take 35. 🌞

It's all plasma, not solid.
