Uranus and Neptune form a special class of planetary objects; intermediate in mass and composition between the giant hydrogen-rich planets of Jupiter and Saturn, and the small, rocky terrestrial planets, their structure and composition are not only of intrinsic importance, but also should provide information regarding the nature of the protoplanetary nebula and the processes of planetary formation. A detailed set of theoretical models of these planets within the framework of two and three shell models was costructed. The ratio of ice to rock was varied. The three shell model fits the data on the two planets best.
