This minor planet was named after Gaia (or Gaea), the goddess of Earth in Greek mythology. Her son "and" husband was Uranus, the god of the sky.

Its average distance from the Sun is roughly . The difference between its minimum and maximum distance from the Sun is 1.8 AU, larger than that of any other planet, though not as large as that of dwarf planet Pluto. The intensity of sunlight varies inversely with the square of distance, and so on Uranus (at about 20 times the distance from the Sun compared to Earth) it is about 1/400 the
