Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cryosphere is the frozen water part of the Earth system. This includes frozen parts of the ocean, such as waters surrounding Antarctica and the Arctic. for at least part of the year, compose the cryosphere. The term “cryosphere” comes from the Greek word, “krios, ‘’ which means cold.

Detailed explanation-2: -Uranus and Neptune It’s really cold that far away from the Sun. So, these chemicals might be frozen or trapped in crystals of ice. Because of this, Uranus and Neptune are called “ice giants.” Images of Uranus (left) and Neptune (right) captured by NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft.

Detailed explanation-3: -Gas giants could get their start in the gas-rich debris disk that surrounds a young star. A core produced by collisions among asteroids and comets provides a seed, and when this core reaches sufficient mass, its gravitational pull rapidly attracts gas from the disk to form the planet.

Detailed explanation-4: -They are thought to consist of an outer layer of compressed molecular hydrogen surrounding a layer of liquid metallic hydrogen, with probably a molten rocky core inside.
