Uranus is the third-largest planet in the solar system, behind Jupiter and Saturn. Like Saturn, Uranus has rings (learn how to draw Saturn with its iconic rings here).
In our drawing, Uranus is a large circle crisscrossed by oval-shaped rings. Uranus actually has 13 rings, but the inner rings are small and dark. Only the larger, brighter rings are visible to observers.

In fact, Uranus is an icy world. It is considered an "ice giant." Like Jupiter and Saturn, it is a gas giant - a thick atmosphere surrounding a smaller rocky core. According to NASA, "most of its mass is a hot, dense fluid of 'icy' materials - water, methane, and ammonia."
