How did astronomers know Neptune existed before they could see it?

Astronomers knew that Neptune existed before they could see it because they observed that the other planets orbited the sun in a way that could only be explained if they were being influenced by the gravity of another object of such mass. So the astronomers contemplated that there must be another planet somewhere that was changing the orbits of other planets. That planet is today called Neptune.

How long before you see Betelgeuse explode?
It is impossible to say when it will explode. It seems very unstable and many astronomers think it may be soon. But soon in astronomical terms could be a million years from now, or it could happen next week.

How old is the creator?
If there is a creator, he (or she...) is of no age. If he has created time, he must have existed before time. If he has any age, he could not have created time. This is for logical reasons. If he has created logic, well, that's another question...
What clothes would you wear on Neptune?
If you look at the common weather of Neptune you will find that it is 150 Centigrade, with winds ranging about 900 miles per hour near the equator. The human body could not handle this temperature nor the wind. So, basically it would not be possible for a human to be on Neptune and live no matter what you wore.

No. You can't even go to Neptune. It's too far away. If you could get to Neptune, you would be crushed by Neptune's internal pressure long before you reached the core.
Why was the discovery of Neptune a major confirmation of Newton's law of gravitaion?
There were anomalies in Uranus' orbit that astronomers thought could be evidence of another planet pulling it out of orbit. This theory was later confirmed. It supports the law of gravitation because of Neptune's exertion of a force on Uranus that caused it to have a different orbit than predicted.
Why is Neptune called the mathematics planet?
because it has gas on ithelium and nitrgen
Which creature existed even before dinosaurs?
Before dinosaurs existed, all of life could be found in the sea. There was absolutely no hint of life on land. There were giant sea scorpions, orthocones, etc.

From Earth:MarsJupiterSaturnUranusNeptune (However, because of the orbit of Pluto, you could encounter Pluto before Neptune)
