ice giant
Uranus or Neptune
Ice giant refers to a type of planet composed mainly of elements heavier than hydrogen and helium—particularly water, ammonia, and methane in dense, icy states.
Uranus and Neptune are the ice giants of our solar system, distinguished from gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn by their different composition.
The "ice" doesn't mean frozen solid but refers to volatile compounds that behave like fluids under extreme pressure.
