To estimate the distance of Uranus from the Sun, we can look at the average distances for the planets around it.

Saturn's average distance from the Sun is 9.5 AU.
Neptune's average distance from the Sun is 30 AU.

Since Uranus is located between Saturn and Neptune, a reasonable estimate for its average distance from the Sun would fall between these two values.

A commonly accepted average distance for Uranus is approximately 19.2 AU. Since this is close to 20 AU, the best answer from the provided options is:

20 AU.
