Why Uranus and Neptune have a significantly different composition and higher density than Jupiter and Saturn?
Let's start with the( approximate) data. Here are the planets' densities
compared with water as the standard :
Jupiter 1.33
Saturn 0.69
Uranus 1.27
Neptune 1.64
You can see that Jupiter actually has a slightly higher density than Uranus.
So that makes the question a bit "wrong". Let's ignore that.
The composition of these planets is still not certain, but Neptune is thought to
contain water, methane and ammonia. All these are denser than hydrogen
which makes up a lot of Jupiter and Saturn.
What else can I help you with?
What planet has the most helium in it?
By mass or volume, in our solar system Jupiter is the planet with the most helium, the fraction being about 10% of its composition (or a quarter of its mass). The smaller planet Saturn by comparison is believed to be about 3%. There are of course many extrasolar planets identified (orbiting stars other than our Sun), which are known to be gas giants and have much larger quantities of helium in them (including one which is about 17 times as large as Jupiter), but composition is hard to estimate with accuracy at such great distances.
What are the 4 larger outer planets known as?
The four outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus.
How far is Jupiter from Neptune?
It varies, because both Jupiter and Neptune are orbiting the Sun at different rates. When they are closest together, the distance between them is about 3.7 billion km. When they are on opposite sides of the Sun, the distance is about 5.3 billion km.
Approximately how many times farhter from the sun in Neptune than Jupiter?
Approximately how many times farther from the sun in neptune than jupiter?
What is the nebiors of Saturn?
neptune and jupiter
What is Saturns' atmosphere composition?
It is a gassy planet like Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune
What type of Platen Neptune is?
Neptune is a Gas giant, but is also referred to as an "ice giant" to place emphasis on its atmospheric composition when compared to those of Saturn and Jupiter.
Is Jupiter the size of Neptune?
No, Jupiter is larger than Neptune .
Which planets are colder than the earth?
Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, and Mars are planets that are colder than Earth due to factors such as their distance from the Sun, lack of a thick atmosphere, and different composition.
What planet has the most helium in it?
By mass or volume, in our solar system Jupiter is the planet with the most helium, the fraction being about 10% of its composition (or a quarter of its mass). The smaller planet Saturn by comparison is believed to be about 3%. There are of course many extrasolar planets identified (orbiting stars other than our Sun), which are known to be gas giants and have much larger quantities of helium in them (including one which is about 17 times as large as Jupiter), but composition is hard to estimate with accuracy at such great distances.
Which is futher Neptune or Jupiter?
Neptune
Which planet is the same as Neptune?
No planet is the same as Neptune. Uranus is similar in size, but is quite different in its composition.
Is Neptune or Jupiter father from the sun?
Neptune is farther than Jupiter from the sun.
Which planets are giant planets?
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are classified as giant planets. These planets are primarily composed of gas and lack a solid surface. They are also known as gas giants or ice giants, depending on their composition.
What is the furthest planet from Jupiter?
Neptune, when Neptune is on the opposite side of its orbit from Jupiter.
Is Neptune hotter than Jupiter?
No, Neptune is colder because it is farther from the sun than Jupiter.
Why are Jupiter and Neptune very cold?
Jupiter and Neptune are father away from the sun than Earth.
