Uranus is located between Saturn and Neptune in the solar system. According to the data you provided, the average distance from the Sun for Saturn is 9.5 AU and for Neptune is 30 AU.

To estimate the average distance of Uranus from the Sun, we can take the average of the distances of Saturn and Neptune:

\[ \text{Average distance of Uranus} = \frac{\text{Distance of Saturn} + \text{Distance of Neptune}}{2} = \frac{9.5 , \text{AU} + 30 , \text{AU}}{2} = \frac{39.5 , \text{AU}}{2} = 19.75 , \text{AU} \]

Therefore, a reasonable estimate for the distance of Uranus from the Sun would be approximately 19.75 AU.
