The residual intensities of the Raman lines in the spectrum of Uranus at wavelengths of 398.9, 402.6, and 406.3 nm are analyzed using a model of a homogeneous semiinfinite gas-aerosol layer. Expressions are obtained which relate the relative aerosol content to the asymmetry parameters of a phase function and to the effective particle radius (in the case of real phase functions). It is shown that aerosol content in the atmosphere of Uranus in 1961-1973 was significantly less than in 1981-1983. Based on relative aerosol contents determined from the Raman lines and from the absorption bands of methane at 509 and 576 nm, the effective particle radius is estimated at 0.30 +/-0.10 micron.
