What makes Uranus and Neptune appear blue?
Uranus' atmosphere is made up of hydrogen, helium and methane. The methane in Uranus' upper atmosphere absorbs the red light from the sun but reflects the blue light from the sun back into space. This is why Uranus appear blue.
What Is the Compisition Of Neptune?
Its mainly hydrogen (80%) and helium (19%). There is also around 1% methane in the atmosphere, which absorbs the red light and gives it its blue colour and there are some traces of Hydrogen deuteride and Ethane. There are also various ices present, such as ammonia, water and ammonium hydrosulfide.
What are the main substances of Eris atmosphere?
Nitrogen makes up 78% of the atmosphere. Oxygen is 20%, while argon is about 1%. Trace gases and particulates make up the following. Um... actually... thats wrong. According to recent NASA studies, Pluto is the only dwarf planet with an atmosphere.
What is Neptune surface feature?
Neptune doesn't have a surface because it is a gas giant. It is composed of hydrogen, helium and methane gases with a core of molten rock and molten ammonia. Neptune is very stormy. In fact, it has the fastest wind speeds discovered so far. Occasionally you can see black spots appear and disappear in Neptune's atmosphere. These are anticyclone storms.
Why is the planet Jupiter blue in colour?
Venus appears to be blue because of the gases in its atmosphere. The temperature on Venus is around 870 degrees Fahrenheit and its atmosphere consists of carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid.
What materials make up Neptunes atmosphere?
There is more methane gas in the highest levels of Neptune's atmosphere than there is on Uranus, this makes Neptune appear blue. Most of the gas in Neptune's atmosphere is hydrogen and helium. The atmosphere is stormier than that of Uranus because the inside of the planet is warmer, which stirs up the gas. Neptune also has ice particles in the atmosphere and ammonia deposits from the exposed molten ammonia core.

What is in Erie?
Methane and Nitrogen. Eris is now the farthest it could be from the sun, hence its atmosphere is frozen onto the surface. As it get closer to the sun in the future, its atmosphere will appear and gaseous state becomes dominant.

Why does the equator go sideways?
The tilt of earths axis makes the equator appear to be sideways.

What does our atmosphere do that makes conditions on Earth suitable for life?
You have it wrong way round, the atmosphere of Earth was created by the life on Earth. 4000 million years ago the atmosphere had no oxygen and was full of CO2, Nitrogen and Methane. However life came into existence in this atmosphere and over time has altered the atmosphere to what we have today. Therefore the composition of the atmosphere would not appear to be critical to life.

Does methane gas make planets appear blue?
Yes.
Why does Neptune or Uranus appear bluish or greenish in color?
They appear blue because they are made up from: 1. Hydrogen and helium 2. Water and ammonia 3. And the middle is a molten ammonia core
What is the color of Neptunes clouds?
The clouds on Neptune are made of Methane, and appear to be Blue.
