Uranus and Neptune are often called "ice giants." This is based on the theory that they were made from materials that easily freeze in space, like water and ammonia. However, this label does not come from direct observations, since no spacecraft has visited the two giants since Voyager 2 in the 1980s. Instead, it is drawn from computer models built using the planets’ sizes, masses, densities, and gravity fields. Now, a new study by scientists at the University of Zurich is challenging this idea. It suggests that the two planets may contain more rock than ice.

teddybearlife약 2달I like the article- mewybybylome약 2달James says: "I wondered if they could send another telescope so they could get some pictures of both planets and send out tiny probes to get more samples?" Grandma says: "It is interesting how "facts" change as science gains more information through research and study."

i_love_god약 2달I think they are the Ice giants because they are the farthest plants away from the sun! :)- lisekytebysa약 1달but what if there is more rock then ice
vinrong약 2달Pluto is the smallest,farthest,and a dwarf plants away from the sun
imflamey약 2달Or it was a rock plant and then the ice melted and it’s rock now and it all water- ilovehenrydsaf약 2달I doubt it. How would it melt if its so far away from the sun? If winter on earth freezes water due to the sun shining ever so slightly less, how would the ice melt that far away?
- teddybearlife약 2달I agree
- imflamey약 2달Yeah that’s right thanks for the advise:p
tony67약 2달That is smart
peacey_bon-bon약 2달cool!
s0ccerbeast2013약 2달I feel like they are made from rock and ice. So 1 that can be very dangerous 😱
sophia0313약 2달We never been to Uranus and Neptune,so it's obvious researchers wonder about it.

anne0327약 2달WOW soooo cool
chocolaterose75약 2달What if they aren't really ice giants? If they are not, schools really messed up the teachings of the solar system for my generation.
