  • Uranus: The Icy Giant – Composition & Features
    That description fits Uranus!

    Here's why:

    * Rocky Core: Uranus has a solid, rocky core at its center.

    * Icy Mantle: Surrounding the core is a thick mantle made up of water, methane, and ammonia ices.

    * Gaseous Atmosphere: Above the mantle, Uranus has a thick atmosphere mostly composed of hydrogen and helium.

    While other planets have some icy components, Uranus's composition is particularly rich in ices.
