First things first, Jupiter’s atmosphere has no oxygen. So make sure you bring plenty with you to breathe. You’ll quickly hit the denser atmosphere below, which will hit you like a wall. It won’t be enough to stop you, though.
Q. What planets does methane give their blue-green color?
The cold methane gas is what gives Uranus its blue-green color. The rapid rotation of Uranus causes winds up to 600 kilometers per hour to blow in its atmosphere.

Q. Which two planets have atmospheres that give it a blue appearance?
The atmospheres of the two ice giants in our solar system, Neptune and Uranus, are both beautiful shades of blue. However, these atmospheres are a different blue than ours. It’s caused by the huge amounts of a gas called methane swirling around. (Side note: methane is also the main component of farts.
Q. Why Uranus is green?
Beyond this boundary lies the hidden northern hemisphere of Uranus, which currently remains in total darkness as the planet rotates. The blue-green color results from the absorption of red light by methane gas in Uranus’ deep, cold and remarkably clear atmosphere.
Q. What planets can humans live on?
Out of all the planets in our solar system, only Earth is know to sustain life. However, after scientists have analyzed others, some are showing the potential to sustain life, but perhaps in a way we have not seen before. The most likely planets to sustain life include Mars, Europa, Enceladus and Titan.
Q. Can I live in Jupiter?
A: Jupiter is a gas giant, which means it probably does not have a solid surface, and the gas it is made up of would be toxic for us. It is also very far from the sun (sunlight can take over an hour to get there) which means that is it very cold.
Q. Does it rain diamonds on Saturn?
What makes precious stones rain down on this planet? On Saturn, the combination of methane with storms produces a shower of diamonds. About 10 million tons of diamond rain down on Saturn each year.
