No.  You just hinted that I was opinionated, and did not (still) share yours.

Ignorance festers in the dark.  So we know everything except your opinion, perhaps your well informed opinion.  We know how fast you can sling shit, for example.

Read what you wrote.  Gas giants have magnetic fields (like Earth).  But their magnetic fields divert plasma away from them (unlike what happens on Earth).

The man is a total failure, spamming this forum with nonsense, as in the 
end to agree with you entirely, without saying it. Why using time on it?

My opinion is irrelevant in that regard.  But if you must know, it stands to
reason that all planets of a star system, except those for which there is
evidence to the contrary, initially formed at approximately the same time,
from the same protoplanetary disc.

A well-founded opinion is different from a well-informed opinion: You can
make a valid argument in spite of lack of information (e.g., conjecture),
and you can make an invalid argument despite its being based on information
(e.g., fallacy or misinterpretation).

I am not familiar with that idiom.  What does it mean?

You must be joking.  In order to prove that your interpretation of my text
is correct, when I have just told you that it is not, you are telling me to
read my text again?  Seriously?

> Gas giants have magnetic fields (like Earth).

Yes, this is what I have written.

> happens on Earth).

That is a gross misinterpretation of what I have written.  I have pointed
out Terra’s aurora borealis/australis to indicate to you and emphasize

∙ that the solar wind is _not_ a gas stream, but a *plasma* stream; it does
  _not_ enrich planet’s atmospheres;

∙ what happens when the solar wind interacts with a planet’s magnetosphere:
  It deforms the planet’s magnetosphere the more the greater its intensity
  is, and most of it is deflected before it ever reaches said planet’s
  atmosphere.

  If, however, it does reach said atmosphere, e.g. when traveling along
  the magnetic field lines to the magnetic poles, then it still does _not_
  enrich such an atmosphere, but *disperses* it (we have long assumed that
  for Mars because it has no magnetosphere; MAVEN has confirmed it in 2015).

I have also pointed out that the intensity of the solar wind near the Sol
system’s gas planets is comparably small because of their huge distance to
Sol (compared to the inner, rocky planets).

(All of this can be found out with a Web search already.)

Absolutely, that pointedears is a uneducated fruitcake wikipedia freak, 
together with for instance a named "Python", quoting kilometres of 
nonsense, for just saying two lines of additional nonsense, in best case 
scenario, for essential these trolls wannabes are shamelessly wrong.

"surface" is the operative word...it means the ground, not the sky, not the clouds, not the atmospheric.


"surface" meaning....ground. The stuff you walk on.


Now, go back and tell me what color is the surface of Neptune?

Thank you for ignoring everything else I said.  You are off topic on this thread.  "Optical surface" is not necessarily what you stand on, but where light scatters from.

Someone once said something about pearls and swine.  What was that now?  I have clearly forgotten it, and wasted my pearls.

Don't bother. Starfaker is some sort of nut who insists that all planets 
are red, even the ones that are not red.

I'm talking about color, not 'without color'. WITH COLOR!

Grey is between black and white. Is Black a color? Is White a color?

Grey:

meaning literally that it is a color 'without color'.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey


I'm talking ...color, like red, green, blue, pink, orange, 


with color.

Besides
here is a picture of Mercury...

what color does it look like to you?


https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/1303/PIA16853mercury.jpg


do you see any ...gray????

Too bad for you and your definition. Show a picture of Mercury to just 
about anyone and ask, what color is that, and they'll certainly say 
"gray" "dark gray" etc. They'll say snow is white and coal is black, 
too. But the point is, you'll be _very_ hard pressed to find anyone say 
"red", so therefore your claim is simply wrong, and your whining whether 
gray is a color is just a diversion.

First Google hit on "color of Mercury":
https://www.universetoday.com/13969/color-of-mercury/
(and even Google blurts out 'dark gray')

Color enhanced out the wazoo and false color doesn't count for anything.
Regardless, it is blue and yellowish, *still* not red.

"Color enhanced"? Do you understand the definition of "Color enhanced"??? It means: intensify, increase..


I don't understand where you're coming from. You contradict yourself too much...


Why would NASA Not show a picture of Mercury in Grey? Why would they show a "wazoo" photo instead???


What happen to the Grey? Where is it??
https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/1303/PIA16853mercury.jpg


One of yous is wrong.


If you look at the lastest photo of Mercury
https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/thumbnails/image/209132main_color_mercury_0.jpg
https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/messenger/multimedia/mercury_color.html

and you just...increase, intensify the color..


you get not blue, not green, not yellow, not grey...but Red!

http://pw1.netcom.com/~starmaker/Mercury/209132main_color_mercury_0-aaa.jpg


enhanced up the wazoo..

And there's your picture of Mercury in gray. Notice it states in BIG 
BOLD LETTERS "Mercury in Color!!" and a picture of a gray planet. So 
guess what? The color of Mercury is gray!
>

Which is exactly what NASA did for this picture, which you yourself posted:

 > What happen to the Grey? Where is it??
 > https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/1303/PIA16853mercury.jpg

So it's really a very slightly bluish gray in some areas and a slightly 
dark yellowish gray in others. (not red!)

And that you know enough how to use Photoshop to make a gray planet look 
red is quite irrelevant. Should I post a picture that proves Mercury 
really is bright green with purple polkadots?

I did not make a grey planet look red...neither did I change the hue...

I simply "enhanced', intensify the colors that is 'already' there...

This is called...experiment and observation using the 'scientific method' which is repeatable and reproducible.

anyone is free to download the photo:

and increase, intersify the color already there...

All planets out there are with Red surfaces....including Pluto, now also named the 'other red planet'.

And when NASA did the exact same thing, they got this:

https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/1303/PIA16853mercury.jpg

and for some reason I trust NASA with information about the planets than 
I would trust you, someone with a bizarre agenda.

Regardless, everyone (except you), when asked "what color is this 
planet?" and shown the unenhanced image, will definitely say "gray" or 
something similar. And that's what counts, as it disproves your claim.

Or maybe you're just colorblind.
