Neptune is a gas giant, which means it is composed almost entirely of gasses.
Neptune is composed of a helium, hydrogen and methane atmosphere.
It has an exposed core of molten rock and molten ammonia.
Neptune is also very windy, with storm winds reaching up to around 2,000mph.
There are also dust and ice particles that move around the planets atmosphere, trapped in the winds.
Since it's a gas giant, there is no surface. Without a surface there are no surface features such as craters, volcanoes, caverns and so on.
Neptune also has 13 moons and at least 3 (barely visible) rings.
