Best Answer

Its solid core is composed of metals and silicate rock, and the core is in turn covered an icy mantle of methane ammonia and water ice. Uranus, like Jupiter and Saturn, has a system of rings, total of 11. But, the ring system is much more complex than that of Jupiter, but less so than Saturn's spectacular system. The system around Uranus seems to be relatively young and probably did not form at the same time as the planet. The particles that make up the rings may be the remnants of a moon that was either broken by a high velocity impact or torn apart by the gravitational effects of Uranus.
