Detailed explanation-1: -The twin planet of Uranus is Neptune because of some similarities. The diameter of both is around 50, 000km (approx). Both appear blue in color due to the presence of methane in the upper atmosphere. Both have some similar chemical contents in the mantle and outer atmosphere.

Detailed explanation-2: -* Uranus and Neptune are so similar in mass, diameter, and rotation rate that they are often called “twin planets.” Their axial tilts, however, are very different. Neptune’s is similar to the Earth’s, but Uranus’s is so greatly tilted that its pole lies almost in its orbital plane.

Detailed explanation-3: -Uranus is slightly larger in diameter than its neighbor Neptune, yet smaller in mass. It is the second least dense planet; Saturn is the least dense of all. Uranus gets its blue-green color from methane gas in the atmosphere.

Detailed explanation-4: -Neptune and Uranus have much in common-they have similar masses, sizes, and atmospheric compositions-yet their appearances are notably different.

Detailed explanation-5: -Neptune and Uranus are so similar that scientists sometimes refer to the distant, icy planets as planetary twins.
