Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Uranus appears blue-green and largely featureless when viewed from space, due to the presence of methane in its atmosphere which absorbs red light and reflects blue-green light. Unlike Jupiter and Saturn, Uranus lacks the prominent cloud bands and storms visible on those planets, giving it a more uniform appearance.
