The planet had been spotted many times in the past, but it was always thought to be a star or other heavenly body. William Hershel viewed the planet in 1781. He originally thought it to be a comet. It was on March 17, 1781, that he realized that Uranus was indeed a planet.
Yes Uranus has a rings. Its rings are special because they wobble. You can not see them from a telescope,
Uranus has the second largest ring system after Saturn.
Yes, both Uranus and Neptune have rings around them, although they are fainter and less extensive compared to Saturn's prominent ring system. The rings of Uranus were first discovered in 1977 during a stellar occultation, while Neptune's rings were discovered in 1989 during the Voyager 2 flyby.
Ariel and Umbriel are two of the moons of Uranus. They were discovered around the same time in 1851 by William Lassell.
Uranus was discovered at the same time as the cotton gin. Both were discovered in 1781. Uranus was discovered by William Herschel.

Jupiter's ring system was discovered by the Voyager 1 spacecraft in 1979 during its flyby of the planet. The rings are made up of fine dust particles and are not as prominent or visible as Saturn's rings.
Neptune is more massive than Uranus, is further from the sun and was discovered after Uranus. Uranus has 27 known and named satellites as well as a ring system. Neptune has 14 known and named satellites, and a faint and fragmented ring system.
Saturn - known for its prominent and extensive ring system. Jupiter - has a faint ring system composed of three main parts. Uranus - has a ring system that was discovered in 1977. Neptune - also has a ring system, though it is less extensive than those of Saturn and Jupiter.

Uranus is the planet that appears blue due to the absorption of red light by methane in its atmosphere. Recently discovered faint rings have been observed around Uranus, adding to the known ring systems of the outer planets in our solar system.
I don't think the rings are for anything. They are just there.
