Is Uranus Bigger than Neptune?

The Radius from the Center of Neptune is 24,622 km, (15,299 mi) while it is 25,362 km, (15,759 mi) for Uranus. So Uranus is bigger than Neptune, but Neptune has a greater mass. In other words Neptune is smaller but denser. Neptune has a radius of 3.88 Earth radii while Neptune has a radius of 4.01 Earth radii. In terms of mass, Neptune is 17.15 Earth masses while Uranus has 14.536 Earth masses.

What planets are bigger than earth but smaller than neptune?

No planet is smaller than Neptune, but larger than Earth in diameter, but Uranus is there in mass. Uranus, even though larger, is less massive than Neptune. Neptune is a giant planet, but not as large as we believe. It is just 3 or 4 times larger than Earth in diameter, but is 16 times massive. Even Uranus is just 13 times. Jupiter and Saturn are much much bigger than all these planets.

Is Uranus darker than Neptune?

Uranus and Neptune are both gas giants, but Neptune appears darker than Uranus because of its deeper blue coloration. This difference is primarily due to the presence of methane in Neptune's atmosphere, which absorbs red light, making the planet appear darker overall.


Why is Uranus colder than Neptune?

Because Uranus's internal heat is lower than Neptune's -- possibly because it doesn't have a moon as large as Triton providing friction from gravitational drag -- Uranus is actually colder than Neptune, despite being almost a billion miles closer to the sun.
