Anyone knows if this applies to other planets as well? For example, could neutrinos penetrate Uranus?

If a block of lead were a light year thick, it would have a 50% chance if blocking a neutrino.

(Something I’ve heard. Can’t look it up now)

No, because Earth is flat, it's easier for the neutrinos to make it through. But if they hit the stack of turtles, they bounce off the shells.
