Scientific paper

A series of models of Uranus is computed assuming that Uranus consists
of a core of rocky material surrounded by a convecting envelope rich in
H2O, NH3, and CH4. It is found that good fits are obtained to the
observed parameters when the CH4:H2 ratio is of the order of 0.1. It is
suggested that the rotational period of Uranus is roughly 18 h.
