Points from link:
Uranus
- Pressure inside Uranus can break up methane molecules squeezing the carbon in them so tightly it forms diamonds.
- Methane is good at absorbing red light which is why it appears blue/green since that is what is reflected.
- It and Venus are the only planets spinning clockwise.
- Its moons are named after Shakespeare characters.
- One of its moons has the tallest known cliff in the universe. 5-10 Kilometers high. If you jumped it would take you around 6 minutes to reach the bottom.
Neptune
-sustained wind speeds clocked at over 2000km/hr. Faster than speed of sound.
-It's moon Triton is probably a captured ice ball that has active geology.
- Neptune was found/predicted mathematically before it was seen by telescope due to the inference it caused to Uranus's orbit.
- Neptune's orbit was also off due to another predicted planet/object...which led to the discovery of Pluto. But this was later revealed to be an accident since the mass # in the calculations were actually off.

Neptune would taste better than Uranus.

nah neptune looks like one of those gummy juicy things that you chew on and it has like all that juicy goodness in it when you bite down on it.

Another factoid: Uranus and Neptune switched orbits as the solar system evolved. The combined gravitational effects of Jupiter and Saturn disrupted their movements about the sun. Solar system bullies.

Neptune vs. Pluto: Neptune in a TKO.
