Both. An Ice Giant is a subclassification of a Gas Giant. Ice giants are primarily composed of water, ammonia and methane. The helium and hydrogen that make up their atmospheres are in the outermost regions of the planets.

Neptune is composed mainly of gases, such as hydrogen, helium, and methane. It is believed to have a small rocky core, but the outer layers consist of icy materials like water, ammonia, and methane. However, the extreme pressures and temperatures on Neptune would prevent water from existing in liquid form.
Neptune is a gas giant. It is also sad to have ice, a term scientists use in terms of water, methane, and ammonia which usually occur as solids in the outer solar system. It is not exactly ice as we know it.
yes because, it's the second farthest from the sun and it has vivid colors the landscape
There is some water ice suspended in Neptune's atmosphere.
Neptune is classified as an ice giant and is not believed to have any liquid water on its surface. Its atmosphere is composed mostly of hydrogen and helium, with traces of methane. The icy surface of Neptune consists of primarily water ice, ammonia ice, and methane ice.
Neptune is a gas giant with no solid surface, so it is not possible for liquid water to exist on its surface. However, water is present in the form of ice in its atmosphere and core.
Yes, Neptune does have water in the form of water ice and water vapor in its atmosphere. It is believed that Neptune likely has a mantle layer made of water, ammonia, and methane ices beneath its atmosphere, although the exact composition is still uncertain.
yes, the planet Neptune includes water in all the gases on the planet, like methane, ammonia, helium and hydrogen.
