At the center of the gas giant Uranus is beleived to be a solid planetary core composed of rock and ice, however it is impossible to see it through Uranus's thick atmospere.

This information is good, however, it doesnt tell me how many ice caps Uranus has!

Scientists have never seen water on Uranus, but they suspect there is lots of it there. The water on the planet is probably pressurized water. Since Uranus is a planet made of ice and gasses, there is undoubtedly ice on the planet.

Mercury has ice at the north and south poles, but may not have "caps" in the traditional sense like Earth and Mars. The ice on Mercury is collected in 20 or so craters near the poles, which are deep enough that light does not reach the bottom.

The surface temperature on Mercury is about 800 degrees Fahrenheit in sunlight, so no ice caps will form in places the light reaches.

No, there are no real 'ice caps' on Mercury, but scientists now think there may be solid water-ice in the eternally dark craters of Mercury's poles.

Neptune does NOT have any ice caps or glaciers. That is because Neptune in the farthest planet away from the sun and there's no water.
