Uranus appears bluish because its atmosphere is made up of methane gas, which absorbs red light and reflects blue light. This gives the planet its distinctive blue-green color.
I guess this means: Methane gives which planet its distinctive blue-green color? Methane gives Neptune its distinctive blue-green color. I'm not so sure about that. I think Uranus is that color, but Neptune is more blue than blue-green. You read different things in different books though. Neptune has Methane in its atmosphere too.
The gas that gives Uranus its blue color is methane. Methane in the planet's atmosphere absorbs red light wavelengths, leaving the blue and green wavelengths to scatter and create the planet's distinctive color.
Because in the atmosphere , there is a gas called methane and it gives the planets their blue color.
methane gas
The blue color in Uranus and Neptune is primarily due to the presence of methane gas in their atmospheres. Methane absorbs red light and reflects blue light, giving these planets their distinctive blue hue.
Uranus's blue-green color is also the result of atmospheric methane, ... The first two thirds of Neptune is composed of a mixture of molten rock, ...The outer third is a mixture of heated gases comprised of hydrogen, helium, water and methane. Methane gives Neptune its blue cloud color. Neptune is a dynamic planet
There are three in our solar system which are blu or bluish. the most blue is Neptune because of the methane absorbing the red light. Uranus in more of a Cyan in colour and Earth is a mixture of blue, green and white.
Methane absorbs the red and yellow light on Uranus and Neptune, while the clouds of these planets reflect the green and blue light
