Uranus and the other outer planets Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune, being mostly gas, are similar in composition, and much larger than the inner planets. When the solar system was formed, all the planets were like this; the newly formed hot sun blew away the gas surrounding the closer planets, but the outer ones kept their orininal composition. Examining the atmosphere of Uranus will tell us something about the make-up of the gases that our solar system formed from.
