Uranus's spin axis is rotated at least 97 or 98 degrees while no other planets has anywhere near Uranus's massive tilt (So crazy!) . Neptune is the farthest planet away from the Sun but surprisingly it is not the coldest planet. Uranus is the coldest planet (probably because of it's axis) but it is not the farthest planet from the sun. (Pluto was out of the race because it wasn't considered as a "real planet" and as a "dwarf planet") All the planets in the solar system are named as Greek gods, Uranus is the " Ancient Greek god of the sky " and Neptune was named after the "Roman god of the sea"(possibly because of it's bluish color ( or colour ) ) .


Hope this helps :)
