Abstract

Neptune experiences pressure sufficient to produce diamonds and this would occur in the layer of
Neptune called the icy layer. The distance travelled by the carbon atoms, from the boundary of
the atmosphere and the icy layer to form a diamond is found to be 4329 km. The mass of diamonds
that could be formed in the entire planet was calculated to be 4.07 × 1023 kg. If this amount of
diamond was sold on Earth, it would approximately cost £6.12 × 1030
