Scientific paper

A study of the rotation of Uranus is made generally following the procedures in Paper I. Combining all results, a best estimate of the period was found to be T = 16.16 + or - 0.33 hr. There was no consistent evidence for a latitude dependence of the rotation rate. The value of the period is consistent with recent determinations of the optical oblateness and of the second gravitational moment. A moment of inertia for Uranus is derived which favors theoretical models with volatile-rich envelopes.
