Description: Findings made by the Voyager missions regarding the atmosphere, magnetic field, rings, and satellites of Uranus are reviewed. The reasons for the bland appearance of the planet are addressed, and the use of radio and infrared instruments to determine the rotational speeds of the planet and atmosphere, the equatorial radius, and the atmospheric temperature is discussed. The corkscrew magnetic field and the dark, almost dust-free rings are described. The most significant features of the largest Uranian moons are mentioned.
