The Ice Giant Atmospheres of Uranus and Neptune Compared

Quick fact

Despite being similar in size and composition, Uranus shows almost no atmospheric features, while Neptune hosts some of the fastest winds in the solar system, reaching over 2,000 km/h—likely powered by Neptune's internal heat, which Uranus lacks.
