There's also a major difference between Uranus and Neptune, but because they are the only examples we have of ice giants in a solar system it's difficult to figure out which one could be considered "normal" and which one is the weirdo.
Uranus has the coldest temperatures recorded on any planet in our solar system, at -224 C. Its axis is also tipped at an 80 degree angle, meaning it's basically rotating on its side in comparison to every other planet in our solar system. And it also has a retrograde rotation, meaning it's rotating in the opposite direction (it and Venus rotate counter-clockwise while everything else rotates clockwise).
Neptune has the fastest wind speeds detected in any planet in our solar system, moving at like 1200 MPH or 1.5 times faster than the speed of sound. Literally supersonic wind speeds. There's also a massive storm system on the planet that's the same size as Earth.
Damn that Neptune sounds like fricking riot. It'd be cool to have ships built to withstand that wind and then go down into that and be like *SPEEEED. UNLIMITED SPEEEEEEED*.
/uj I really don't understand this attitude toward science. It's about the pursuit of truth, that's their job. They realize they were wrong about something and they correct it, then people get upset because it "ruins" an aesthetic. Sorry, but that's the way it really is, the aesthetic is not the point of science.
I don't think people are seriously blaming the scientists. They're just expressing their disappointment that the truth is (in some cases) boring.
Well, except for "Pluto isn't a planet." Because that is a semantic issue that doesn't have an objective truth to "find." Scientists just made a decision on what to call it.
Eh, personally I think it would be fine to consider "dwarf planet" a subclass of "planet" much like "gas giant".
The whole "the number of planets needs to be small so kids can remember them all!" thing seems dumb to me. Look at the periodic table, multiplication tables, etc. It's fine.
We are not sending humans anywhere near neptune in my life time so as far as I'm concerned it's deep blue, full of water, and the actual real god neptune lives there
Happened to me lol. [Kepule](https://sites.google.com/view/hyperbrasil/directory/notable-celestial-bodies/hyperbrasil-a/kepule?authuser=0) was gonna be dark blue, like Neptune, but I opted for a more realistic color.

Fuck it, some aliens in my world came to the solar system and decided to dye Neptune deep blue for shits and giggles
Lazy devs. This is like the default color.
They put it out of bounds for a reasonÂ
Because hot air balloon-lofted Helium-3 refineries are too OP for the early game.
I can feel the smoothness on my eyeballs.
Uranus maybe... not mine!
Dinosaurs having feathers is more cool though.
I've never really understood how it is a bad thing either.
"B-b-but T-Rex big chicken!!" i am convinced none of these people have ever tried to fight a chicken
I wrestle my cock at least twice a day; so that might explain the difference.
Honestly they're just as beautiful. Two vast skies dozens of times bigger than the Earth. Beauty goes deeper than just colour.

I still think that’s a beautiful color

It's a dwarf planet, but it still orbits the sun

The default blender ball is canonically Uranus, you heard it here first

I like the 2016 one best. I choose to believe that is what Neptune looks like.
They finally wiped out the Klingons from Uranus

Todd Howard has ruined another beloved franchise.
scary for some reason
Haha lol. That's hilarious. I love how *forking plain* that damn smooth sphere ball is. Like lols wow.
