Detailed explanation-1: -Both worlds are blue because they have methane in their atmospheres, which absorbs the color red from the sun’s light. But a key middle layer of methane haze on Uranus appeared to be twice as thick as the layer on Neptune. It is the presence of this additional haze that leads to the different visages.
Detailed explanation-2: -Neptune is very similar to Uranus. It’s made of a thick fog of water, ammonia, and methane over an Earth-sized solid center. Its atmosphere is made of hydrogen, helium, and methane. The methane gives Neptune the same blue color as Uranus.
Detailed explanation-3: -Neptune is the outermost of the four gas giants: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. Because of its distance from the Sun, Neptune’s atmosphere is a frigid-225° C (-373° F). The blue-green color of the planet is due to the presence of methane in the atmosphere.
