Data from the Voyager infrared spectrometer and radiometer (IRIS) investigation are used to determine the albedo, effective temperature, and energy balance of Uranus. From broadband radiometric observations made over a range of phase angles 15° < α < 155°, an orbital mean value for the bolometric Bond albedo, A = 0.300 ± 0.049 , is obtained, which yields an equilibrium temperature Teq= 58.2 ± 1.0°K. From thermal spectra obtained over latitudes from pole to pole, an effective temperature Teff= 59.1 ± 0.3°K is derived. This represents a substantial improvement over previously determined values. The energy balance of Uranus is therefore E = 1.06 ± 0.08; the one-standard-error upper limit of 1.14 is lower than previous results.
