Poor Uranus 😔

Uranus and Neptune are ice giants. Very different composition than the gas giants.

The gas giants are basically hydrogen and helium. Just big puffy balls. Neptune and Uranus are made mostly of things like water and ammonia. So they aren't being forgotten here, they actually aren't gas giants.
