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.
It's to be bluer because It has a mass 17 times greater, and a mean density about a third of earths. Its atmosphere is mainly hydrogen and helium, with some methane and ammonia, which makes Neptune bluer than Uranus. Neptune and Uranus have a high percentage of methane in their atmosphere which adsorb long-wavelength red light, so reflected sun light appears blue - green or blue. Neptune has more methane in it's atmosphere than Uranus which is why it appears bluer.
Neptune and Uranus are not blue. It's an illusion caused by the surfaces of the planets. Since we are so far away, we catch the opticle illusion of it. Almost like Mars, which is infact not red, though a pale rustic color.
Neptune is blue because of the high scale clouds of methane particles.
Uranus on the other hand absorbs the red light of the sun, and as an effect, reflects it's bueatiful, soothing blue green color. I'm sure a similar thing is also with Neptune, as it is so blue as well.
Methane in the planets' atmospheres gives them their blue color.
Its the nitrogen, hydrogen and water and other gases
it seems blue because the atmosphere is made up of methane
it it literally because of the colours of the planets the greeny gass in the atmosphere of the frozen planet uranus and the pure iceball that is neptune
Because their atmospheres contain large quantities of methane gas, which absorbs light in the red part of the spectrum and reflects back light in the blue part of the spectrum.
the methane in the atmosphere
Uranus and Neptune appear blue due to methane gasses. Earth is also mostly blue due to vast oceans.
They have the same gas which makes it blue. Neptune affected Uranus by th force.
Helium makes up most of Neptunes atmosphere, and some within Uranus. It is this helium that gives Neptune it's blue hue.
Both Uranus and Neptune do, giving them a blue colour (bluish green for Uranus).
Methane gas gives the planets Neptune and Uranus the blue colour.
Uranus and Neptune appear blue due to methane gasses. Earth is also mostly blue due to vast oceans.
Uranus is a greenish blue, and Neptune is blue.
They have the same gas which makes it blue. Neptune affected Uranus by th force.
They both are blue in colour.
Helium makes up most of Neptunes atmosphere, and some within Uranus. It is this helium that gives Neptune it's blue hue.
because of a gas called methane that is the same gas that makes neptune blue
Both Uranus and Neptune do, giving them a blue colour (bluish green for Uranus).
Both Uranus and Neptune have methane in their atmosphere which absorbs red light, allowing the blue hues to be reflected. Neptune is a lot more of a blue colour than Uranus, but Uranus has more methane in its atmosphere. Its though that other constituents in Neptune enrich its blue colour.
No. Uranus and Neptune owe their blue color primarily to the presence of methane.
Methane gas gives the planets Neptune and Uranus the blue colour.
Uranus has a blue-green color as does Neptune
Earth is often called the "Blue Planet". Its surface is mostly covered in water (around 71%). Neptune appears blue because of methane gas in its atmosphere. Uranus is also blue, although the color is lighter (closer to aquamarine).
