    Are ice planets composed of iron/silicate partially or is it some other element?

      @ladestitute in the ice giants? If so its mainly methane and helium then iron silicates

        @zach121k I'm actually working on fictional ice planets with scientifically correct info. Just proofreading them, scientifically wise.

          @ladestitute Oh nice! Now the atmosphere on ice planets is slim to none... In the apogee of the orbit of a planet, it's atmosphere (usually methane) freezes and falls down to the surface. In perigee the opposite occurs forming a thin atmosphere

                @zach121k Okay, yes, does this match the typical size of an uranian planet? 1.30 x 10^21 kg
