Answer by Cosmospup. Confidence votes 30.0K. As of 2009, Uranus has 27 known moons, which are named after characters from works by William Shakespeare and Alexander Pope. (Not one is named Romeo.) The five largest moons of Uranus are Titania, Oberon, Umbriel, Ariel, and Miranda. The other 22 are quite small. Uranus and its five major moons are depicted in this montage of images acquired by the Voyager 2 spacecraft. The moons, from largest to smallest as they appear here, are Ariel, Miranda, Titania, Oberon and Umbriel. English astronomer William Lassell spotted Umbriel, the darkest of Uranus' big moons, in 1851. In Voyager 2's quick fly-by, scientists were unable to figure out how the surface got so dark, or why there is a bright ring on Umbriel's surface that is 90 miles (140 kilometers) in diameter. The largest of these five, Titania, is 1,578 km in diameter and the eighth-largest moon in the Solar System, and about one-twentieth the mass of the Moon. The orbits of the regular moons are nearly coplanar with Uranus's equator, which is tilted 97.77° to its orbit. The path of the Sun in the local sky over the course of a local day during Uranus's and its major moons' summer solstice is quite different from that seen on most other Solar System worlds. The major moons have almost exactly the same rotational axial tilt as Uranus's (their axes are parallel to that of Uranus). (Not one is named Romeo.) The five largest moons … of Uranus are Titania, Oberon, Umbriel, Ariel, and Miranda. The other 22 are quite small. Titania and Oberon were discovered in 1789 by William Herschel. Ariel and Umbriel were discovered in 1851 by William Lassell. Miranda was discovered in 1948 by Gerard Kuiper. Confidence votes 79.6K. Uranus has 27 known natural satellites, the largest of the satellites is Titania. The names for the satellites of Uranus are chosen from characters from the works of Shakespeare and Alexander Pope. The five main satellites are Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania and Oberon. Uranus has 27 moons. Five of these moons are large and the rest are smaller. The largest moon is Titania, followed by Oberon, Umbriel, Ariel and Miranda. Some of the smaller moons are named: Belinda, Bianca, Caliban, Cordelia, Cressida, Desdemona, Juliet, Ophelia, Portia, Puck, and Rosalind.

Uranus’s moons are generally categorized as the Inner Moons (13), Major Moons (5) and Irregular Moons (9). The Inner Moons are named Cordelia, Ophelia, Bianca, Cressida, Desdemona, Juliet, Portia, Rosalind, Cupid, Belinda, Perdita, Puck and Mab The Major Moons are named Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania and Oberon. The Irregular Moons are named Francisco, Caliban, Stephano, Trinculo, Sycorax, Margaret, Prospero, Setebos and Ferdinand. Uranus’s moons are generally categorized as the Inner Moons (13), Major Moons (5) and Irregular Moons (9). Titania. Uranus’s largest moon is Titania with a diameter of 1,577.8 km or 980 miles and a mass of 3.42 x 10 21 kg. This makes it the eighth largest moon in our solar system (less than half the size of Earth’s moon). Titania was discovered on January 11, 1787 by William Herschel. Uranus’s moons are generally categorized as the Inner Moons (13), Major Moons (5) and Irregular Moons (9). Uranus, the seventh planet of the Solar System, has 27 known moons, all of which are named after characters from the works of William Shakespeare and Alexander Pope. Uranus's moons are divided into three groups: thirteen inner moons, five major moons, and nine irregular moons. The path of the Sun in the local sky over the course of a local day during Uranus's and its major moons' summer solstice is quite different from that seen on most other Solar System worlds. The major moons have almost exactly the same rotational axial tilt as Uranus's (their axes are parallel to that of Uranus).
