A team of astronomers proposes that methane may hold the key to controlling storms on Uranus and Neptune .
To power a storm, heat must rise from a planet's warm interior to its surface.
But the interiors of these planets are always warm, so why don't storms occur all the time? Methane usually exists as a gas, but in the upper regions of these ice world atmospheres, it may condense, forming droplets.
