The layer that is situated farthest from the planet's center is invariably the one
that contains the surface. This is the well-known law of Radius and Diameter, the
great Roman and Greek philosophers who settled their differences and teamed up
in the second Century C.E., a time of great turmoil in the ancient world.

The inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) have rocky surfaces composed of silicate minerals and metals. The outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) have gas surfaces, primarily composed of hydrogen and helium. Additionally, outer planets may have icy surfaces due to the presence of water and other ices.
Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are terrestrial planets, characterized by their solid, rocky surface. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are gaseous planets, composed mostly of gas and lacking a solid surface.
These are the four outer planets, known as the gas giants. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
The planet you are referring to is Uranus, the seventh planet from the Sun. It is composed mostly of hydrogen and helium, with a layer of frozen water, ammonia, and methane, along with a liquid nitrogen layer on its surface.

The crust, which is the outermost layer of the Earth, is composed of silicon and aluminum minerals. It is the thinnest layer but contains a variety of rocks and minerals that make up the solid surface of the planet.
The terrestrial planets are composed primarily of silicate rocks or metals. They have a solid surface. The gas giants are composed mostly of hydrogen, helium, and water existing in various physical states.
The inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) have rocky surfaces composed of silicate minerals and metals. The outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) have gas surfaces, primarily composed of hydrogen and helium. Additionally, outer planets may have icy surfaces due to the presence of water and other ices.
Oceanic crust.
Neptune has a surface more similar to the inner planets than to the other outer planets. It is primarily composed of rock and ice, similar to the composition of the inner planets, whereas the other outer planets are predominantly gas giants.
The layer of the Sun's atmosphere composed of super granular cells is called the photosphere. These cells are convection cells that transport heat from the interior of the Sun to the surface. The photosphere is the visible surface of the Sun where the majority of its light is emitted.
Terrestrial planets are mainly composed of silicate rock. These planets, like Earth, Mercury, Venus, and Mars, have a solid surface and are primarily made up of rocks and metals.
