∙ 13y agoThere are actually five large moons. They are Titania, Oberon, Umbriel, Ariel, and Miranda. They were the only 5 of the 27 known moons that were discovered prior to the visit of Voyager 2 in 1986.
Titania and Oberon are the largest two, and Umbriel is slightly larger than Ariel, which is nonetheless thought to have 15% more mass than Umbriel.

∙ 13y agoThe 3rd and 4th largest moons of Uranus, Umbriel and Ariel, are practically the same size. However, Umbriel is slightly larger (1169 km versus 1157 km) while Ariel is thought to be denser and have a higher mass, about 15% greater than Umbriel.
Both were also discovered on the same day, October 24, 1851, by astronomer William Lassell.
