Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 36.
Uranus and Neptune, the outermost planets in our solar system, are often called "ice giants" - a distinction they earn not because they are entirely frozen, but due to their unique composition. Unlike the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn, which are primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, Uranus and Neptune contain a significant amount of heavier elements.
While these planets do possess massive atmospheres composed mainly of hydrogen and helium, their interiors are believed to be dominated by a supercritical fluid of water, methane, and ammonia. This "icy" mixture, along with dissolved rock and other materials, gives the ice giants their distinctive bluish hues.
The presence of methane in their atmospheres is responsible for the blue coloration of both planets. Methane absorbs red light from the sun, reflecting back the blue portion of the spectrum. However, Uranus appears a pale, almost turquoise blue, while Neptune boasts a much deeper azure. This difference in shades is attributed to the presence of additional, yet unidentified, components in Neptune''s atmosphere.
Further investigation of the ice giants is crucial to understanding the formation and evolution of planetary systems, including our own. Their unique characteristics challenge existing models and provide valuable insights into the diverse range of planetary bodies that can exist within a single star system.
