Probably because of their unique internal structures, the planets- Uranus and Neptune skewed magnetic field. Some scientists suggest that the planets derived such nondipolar magnetic fields from a special geometry of their icy mantle with a thin convective layer on top of a stratified non-convective layer.
Both planets have H2O and NH3 as representative materials comprising the mantle of giant ice planets. The presence of superionic H2O and NH3 has been thought of as an explanation to stabilize…
