Like the other giant planets, Uranus has a ring system, a magnetosphere, and numerous moons. The Uranian system has a unique configuration because its axis of rotation is tilted sideways, nearly into the plane of its solar orbit.

In 1986, images from "Voyager 2" showed Uranus as an almost featureless planet in visible light, without the cloud bands or storms associated with the other giant planets. "Voyager 2" remains the only spacecraft to visit the planet. Observations from Earth have shown seasonal change and increased weather activity as Uranus approached its equinox in 2007.
