Ice cream giant


Uranus Neptuno Scientists have considered Uranus and Neptune as a separate subclass of giant planets: icy giants, which, due to their structure, mainly made up of ice, rock and gas, are also called "uranian planets". They differ from "traditional" gaseous giants, such as Jupiter and Saturn, because their proportion of hydrogen and helium is much lower, mainly because of their greater distance from the Sun.

The atmospheric layers are very misty, with a small amount of methane, which gives them their characteristic aqua and overseas blue colors, respectively. In both there are magnetic fields strongly inclined with respect to their axes of rotation. Unlike the other gaseous giants, in Uranus the axial inclination is very high, which causes that its stations tend to be extremely extreme.

On the two planets other subtle yet important differences occur. Although, in general, Uranus is less massive than Neptune, it contains more hydrogen and helium. Neptune is therefore denser and preserves much more internal heat and a more active environment.
