The atmosphere of Uranus, like those of the larger gas giants, Jupiter and Saturn, is composed primarily of hydrogen and helium. At depth it is significantly enriched in volatiles (dubbed "ices") such as water, ammonia and methane. The opposite is true for the upper atmosphere, which contains very few gases heavier than hydrogen and helium due to its low temperature. Uranus's atmosphere is the coldest of all the planets, with its temperature reaching as low as 49 K.
The Uranian atmosphere can be divided into three main layers: the troposphere, between altitudes of −300[a] and 50 km and pressures from 100 to 0.1 bar; the stratosphere, spanning altitudes between 50 and 4000 km and pressures of between 0.1 and 10−10 bar; and the hot thermosphere (and exosphere) extending from an altitude of 4,000 km to several Uranian radii from the nominal surface at 1 bar pressure.[1] Unlike Earth's, Uranus's atmosphere has no mesosphere.
The troposphere hosts four cloud layers: methane clouds at about 1.2 bar, hydrogen sulfide and ammonia clouds at 3-10 bar, ammonium hydrosulfide clouds at 20-40 bar, and finally water clouds below 50 bar. Only the upper two cloud layers have been observed directly-the deeper clouds remain speculative. Above the clouds lie several tenuous layers of photochemical haze. Discrete bright tropospheric clouds are rare on Uranus, probably due to sluggish convection in the planet's interior. Nevertheless observations of such clouds were used to measure the planet's zonal winds, which are remarkably fast with speeds up to 240 m/s.
Little is known about the Uranian atmosphere as to date only one spacecraft, Voyager 2, which passed by the planet in 1986, has studied it in detail. No other missions to Uranus are currently scheduled.
Yes, Uranus does have snow. Its atmosphere contains a mixture of gases like methane, which can form into icy clouds and snow particles in the upper atmosphere. These snow particles can fall towards the planet's surface and contribute to its icy appearance.
There are no valleys on Uranus as it is a gas giant planet with a mostly uniform atmosphere composed of hydrogen and helium. The lack of a solid surface on Uranus means that there are no geological features like valleys that can form on the planet.
Uranus does not have any significant landforms like mountains or valleys as it is a gas giant composed mostly of hydrogen and helium. Its surface is mainly a layer of clouds and its atmosphere extends gradually into its interior without a distinct boundary.
The planet you are referring to is likely Uranus. Its atmosphere consists of hydrogen, helium, and methane. Uranus is known for its distinctive blue-green color, which is due to the presence of methane gas in its atmosphere.
Uranus is mainly hydrogen and helium, but also contains a large amount of frozon ammonia and methane. Being a gas planet, it has no surface like earth, the atmosphere just gets thicker as you go futher in.
It is a gassy planet like Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune
No, it's a planet.
Uranus
gases
Uranus has the coldest atmosphere of all the planets in our solar system. Temperatures in its upper atmosphere can drop to -224 degrees Celsius (-371 degrees Fahrenheit).
The planet Uranus has an atmosphere filled with methane along with other gases like hydrogen and helium. The methane in the atmosphere gives Uranus its blue-green color and forms clouds that create hazy bands across the planet.

Uranus has an atmosphere that contains methane clouds. Methane in Uranus' atmosphere absorbs red light, giving the planet its distinctive blue-green color.
No it is not breathable, because the planet is full of dangerous gases such as methane.
If you mean what is in its atmosphere, its methane, which is why the planet has a blueish-green tint.
No. There is no oxygen in Neptune's atmosphere
