Ice giants are a class of planets primarily composed of elements with relatively low boiling points, such as water, ammonia, and methane ices, with a small rocky core at their center. The study of ice giants, like Uranus and Neptune in our solar system, is relevant to the tech community as it informs the development of models and simulations for planetary formation and the search for exoplanets, driving advancements in fields like astrobiology and the search for life beyond Earth.
