Space Neptune and Uranus have several things in common: they share the same dimensions, masses and atmospheric compositions however, their appearances vary in hues of blue. 

·       In visible wavelengths, Neptune is a rich deep azure hue however, Uranus is a distinct light hue of the colour cyan. 

·       The reason is that the haze around Uranus is more dense than the one around Neptune Uranuss slow atmospheric conditions make it appear to have a lighter hue than Neptune.

·       There are three layers of aerosol within both the atmospheric layers of Neptune in the atmospheres of Neptune and Uranus. 

·       The primary layer that determines the colour lies in the middle that is composed of haze particles, which is heavier on Uranus than Neptune. 

·       Methane ice dries up on the particles within this layer, dragging the particles further into the atmosphere. 

·       Because Neptune has an active, turbulent atmosphere than Uranus has, its atmosphere is more efficient in creating methane particles in the layer of haze. 

·       This is able to remove more haze, and makes Neptunes layer of haze less thick than on Uranus which means that the blue color of Neptune appears stronger.
