Yes and no.
Neptune gets very little sunlight because it is so far from the sun.
When light does reach Neptune, the red spectrum of the dim sunlight is absorbed my the methane atmosphere and the blue light spectrum is reflected off the methane, which gives the planet its blue colour.
Neptune's atmospheric composition includes 85% Hydrogen, 13% Helium and around 2% Carbon Monoxide. There are also traces of ammonia, ethane, acetylene, Carbon Monoxide and Hydrosulfide. These are toxic gases and if you were to step on Neptune without a spacesuit the gases would kill you almost immediately. :')
Neptune is a gas giant, so it has a very thick atmosphere. The dark spot on Neptune is a large storm in the atmosphere.
There would be sunlight on Neptune, but the sun would appear to be much smaller than it does on Earth, because it is a lot further away.
Yes. While Neptune gets less light from the sun than Earth does, it still gets plenty of light. If it were not for this we would never be able to see it.
Yes, Neptune does radiate more energy than it recieves from the sun. Other planets that do the same thing are Jupiter and Saturn.
It receives ultraviolet radiation from the sun.
Yes. If Neptune did not receive and reflect sunlight, we would never be able to see it.
Neptune, the planet that is the farthest known of the solar system, if you discount Pluto, is located 30.047 times farther away from the Sun than Earth is, at 2,793,100,000 miles, while earth is 93,000,000 miles from the Sun. Only about one thousandth of the Sunlight received by Earth reaches Neptune. Yet, with that small amount of sunlight the atmosphere of Neptune is significantly affected. To sum this up, Neptune only gets about 1/900 the sunlight of earth.
Then we would receive only 1/4 of the sunlight we receive now.Then we would receive only 1/4 of the sunlight we receive now.Then we would receive only 1/4 of the sunlight we receive now.Then we would receive only 1/4 of the sunlight we receive now.
The polar regions never receive any direct sunlight.
Neptune is 30 times further from the Sun than Earth, so the fraction of sunlight it receives compared to the Earth is the square of that, so 1/900th as much. However, that is comparable with your living room in the evening with the lights turned on. It is still hundreds of times brighter than the full moon - enough to see in full colour. However, beneath the clouds there will be less light of course - it would very much be a twilit world.
No. There is no ground, little sunlight and an atmosphere with very little carbon dioxide.
neptune gets 40% of sunlight
Because they are the furthest planets away from the sun, so they receive less sunlight for warmth.
Yes. The sunlight on Neptune is less than that on Earth, but brighter than the light of a full moon.

Yes, Asia does receive a lot of sunlight. It is the largest continent, and covers a wide area and so it does receive a lot of sunlight.
Not a lot, because it has ice caps and so Neptune is known for its ice. If it was close to the sun then no ice for Neptune. ~for you!
because the sunlight
Triton is Neptune's moon. However, it takes about 155 min for sunlight to reach Triton.
Neptune is a freezing gas giant with no solid surface and very little sunlight. Mars, Mercury and Venus are hot or warm planets with rocky surfaces and plenty of sunlight.
