YES! Neptune does have a mantle. Neptune's mantle is believed to be enriched with icy water, ammonia and methane. These elements create a high pressure.

Does Neptune have water on its surface?

No. Neptune has water in it's lower layers in the mantle


What is Neptune's internal composition?

Neptune is believed to have a rocky core made of silicate and metal, surrounded by a mantle of water, ammonia, and methane ices. Above the mantle is a thick atmosphere of hydrogen, helium, and traces of methane, giving Neptune its blue color.


How much more gravity is there on Neptune than there is on Earth?

The 'surface' acceleration of gravity on Neptune is 11.15 m/s2 . That's about 14% greater than on the Earth's surface. If you weigh 200 pounds on Earth, then at the depth in Neptune's gaseous mantle where the pressure is equal to Earth's sea-level atmospheric pressure, you'd weigh about 228 pounds.

Pulsar planet.


Does Neptune have water in the present and past?

Yes, Neptune does have water in the form of water ice and water vapor in its atmosphere. It is believed that Neptune likely has a mantle layer made of water, ammonia, and methane ices beneath its atmosphere, although the exact composition is still uncertain.


What is on the surface of Neptune?

Neptune, like the other gas giants, has no definitive surface. Instead it is comprised of gaseous ice and water layers. In fact, the planets mantle is a water-ammonia ocean, which at deep levels, the methane transforms into diamond crystals. The atmosphere is icy and comprised mostly of helium and hydrogen.


What is Neptunes crust made out of?

The crust of Neptune is primarily composed of water ice, ammonia ice, and methane ice. These ices are mixed with rocky material and other compounds, giving Neptune its distinctive blue color. The exact composition and thickness of Neptune's crust are still not well understood due to limited data.


Is Neptune inhabitable?

No. Neptune is a gas giant. The only way to live on the planet would be to float in its lower dense atmosphere. The moons of Neptune are incredibly cold, so that gases form liquids or even solids.


Is Neptune a frozen planet or a water planet?

It is a water planet. Although the mantle is termed icy - as is the convention in planetary science - it is, in fact, a hot dense fluid consisting of water, ammonia and methane.


What is the availability of water for neptune?

It is thought to be present in the mantle but not in the form with which we are familiar. It is thought that the mantle may consist of ionic water comprising atoms of hydrogen and oxygen ions. At greater depth, this may turn to superionic water in which the oxygen crystallises out and the hydrogen ions wander in between the lattice structure of the oxygen crystals.


What is the inside of mercury made of?

Its layers start from the Crust, the Mantle, the inner, then the HUGE CORE! Cores are made with melted rock or even metel. Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune all have cores. But Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune have a smaller core than Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.
