What’s going on inside the most distant planets in our solar system? The ice giant planets Uranus, Neptune, and sub-Neptune exoplanets are believed to be composed primarily of the elements hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen (H-C-N-O). However, the details of their interior structures have remained a mystery due to unclarity around the behavior of compounds H2O, NH3, and CH4 at the high pressures and temperatures found inside these planets.
