Uranus is a greenish-blue planet, twice as far from the Sun as its neighbor Saturn. Uranus wasn’t discovered until 1781. Its discoveror, William Herschel, named it Georgium Sidus (the Georgian star) after the English king, George III. Later its name was changed to Uranus, after an ancient Greek sky god, since all the other planets had been named after Roman and Greek gods.
