Astronomers explain the cause of the weather anomaly on Neptune and Uranus

Observations by astronomers from the Lagrange Laboratory have shown that Uranus and Neptune have much less ammonia than

This substance, similar to methane, should be abundant on the planet.As you know, it is formed when an object is formed from a protoplanetary disk.

To explain the lack of ammonia on the surfaces of Neptune and Uranus, scientists studied the ammonia content of another giant planet, Jupiter.Data from the Juno spacecraft have shown that this chemical compound is not only on the surface of the planet, but  also deep beneath its surface.Periodically, hailstones of a water-ammonia mixture are formed on Jupiter, which can reach up to a kilogram or more in weight.When they fall, they carry matter far into the layers of the atmosphere.also on Uranus and Neptune.

The reason for the abnormal decrease in ammonia was explainedthe fact that the chemical compound simply disappeared into the layers of the atmosphere. However, to confirm this theory, it is necessary to send an orbiting probe to Uranus and Neptune.
