Why uranus is called green planet?
Uranus appears green-blue due to its atmospheric composition:Scientific explanation:- Methane gas in Uranus's atmosphere absorbs red light from sunlight- Reflects blue and green wavelengths back into space- This selective absorption creates the cyan/green appearanceAtmospheric composition:- 83% hydrogen- 15% helium - 2% methane (responsible for the color)- Trace amounts of other gasesAdditional factors:- Distance from Sun - receives faint sunlight, enhancing color perception- Lack of surface features - uniform color appearance- Ice giant composition - different from gas giants like JupiterThe methane acts like a filter, removing red components from reflected sunlight, making Uranus appear greenish-blue to our eyes. This is similar to why Neptune appears blue, though Neptune's deeper blue suggests additional unknown atmospheric components.
