N2 - A series of models of Uranus is computed assuming that Uranus consists of a core of rocky material sorrounded 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 suggusted that the rotational period of Uranus is roughly 18 hours.
