Across the equator

51,118 km

Average distance from the Sun

19.189 AU (about 2,871 million km)

One trip round the Sun

84.1 Earth years

One spin on its axis

17 hours 14 minutes, backwards. Its axis is tipped about 98 degrees, so it rolls around the Sun on its side.

Moons

over two dozen known; the largest are Titania and Oberon

Equatorial diameters (the same values the map draws) and spin: NASA NSSDC planetary fact sheets (https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/factsheet/). Mean distance from the Sun: JPL Approximate Positions of the Planets, Table 1, and the JPL Small-Body Database for Ceres and Pluto. Year length is computed from the distance with Kepler's third law (years = distance in AU to the power 1.5).
