Best Answer

Neptune was formed around 4.5 billion years ago, along with the other planets in the solar system. Neptune is the fourth largest planet, after Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus. Almost identical in size to Uranus, its sister planet, Neptune was formed, along with the other planets, from the primordial Solar Nebula. While the larger planets (Jupiter and Saturn) received the lion's share of the nebula's hydrogen and helium, Uranus and Neptune appear to have received only rock and ice
