Is Uranus mostly made of gas or rock?

Answer 1

Neither. Uranus was originally believed to be a gas giant like Jupiter and Saturn, but actually belongs to a different class of planet called an ice giant. Uranus has an atmosphere made mostly of hydrogen, helium, and methane and an interior made of methane, ammonia, and water ices kept solid under pressure.

Answer 4

Uranus is what has been called one of the gas giants of our solar system, although ice giant may be closer to the truth. It is so cold that the gas has condensed into an icy/slushy consistency. Essentially it is a very big and loose snowball with a small rocky core. The mantle is mostly made of ices of water, amonia and methane. There might not be much of anything to stand on securely, but what you would fall through would be very unpleasant, and very cold.
