KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -Neptune’s atmosphere is made up of hydrogen, helium and methane. The methane in Neptune’s upper atmosphere absorbs the red light from the sun but reflects the blue light from the Sun back into space. This is why Neptune appears blue.

Detailed explanation-2: -The predominant blue color of the planet is a result of the absorption of red and infrared light by Neptune’s methane atmosphere.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: –The methane gas present in the upper atmosphere of Neptune is responsible for the its blue colour.

Detailed explanation-5: -Uranus gets its blue-green color from methane gas in the atmosphere. Sunlight passes through the atmosphere and is reflected back out by Uranus’ cloud tops. Methane gas absorbs the red portion of the light, resulting in a blue-green color.
