Uranus and Neptune: The Solar System's Forgotten Ice Giants
Uranus and Neptune are the outermost planets in the solar system, built mostly from hot, dense water, methane, and ammonia rather than hydrogen and helium. Uranus lies on its side and gives off almost no excess heat. Neptune radiates about 2.6 times the energy it absorbs and drives the fastest winds measured on any planet. Only Voyager 2 has ever visited either world.
