The sameness of Uranus' appearance shows that the planet's atmosphere is mostly composed of one thing, methane, or poo-gas. Naturally, the planet appears to be blue-green because the methane gas of the atmosphere traps red light and does not allow that color to escape - like an older brother holding you down until another breath must be drawn.

As for the atmosphere of Uranus, heating the *air* from the "bottom" is more the rule than warming the atmosphere at the top with sunlight (like on Earth, hence hats).

Uranus lies on its side, and its north pole faces the sun, which means it is in daylight for half of the year. As a result, a Uranus day is the same as a Uranus summer. A sun-bum resort - not for the anal retentive.

Rather than a left-right planetary rotation, the motion is more up Uranus. This observation may prove to be the distant source for the age-old colloquial retort, "Up yer ass [Uranus] sideways and rotate" which has also been expressed as, "sit on it and rotate". An unmistakable reference to Uranus.
