Scientific paper
Knowledge gained about Uranus by the Voyager 2 mission is reviewed. The magnetic field of Uranus is tilted by 60 degrees with respect to the rotation axis, and the other field components are almost as strong as the dipole component. The planet's winds blow in the east-west direction, as on the earth, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn, due to the Coriolis force. The most likely structure for Uranus is a two-layer model in which gases and ices are mixed in a dense atmosphere surrounding a rocky core.
