Uranus' average distance from the sun (semi-major axis) is 19.1 AU, which is close to the 19.6 AU predicted by the [[Titius-Bode Law]]. Its sidereal year is 84.02 [[Earth]] years. The orbital excentricity is 0.046, which is nearly circular (though the orbit of Earth is more circular still). Uranus' orbit is very slightly inclined to the plane of the ecliptic; in fact its orbital inclination with respect to the ecliptic is the least of those of all the planets.
