Best Answer

Because Neptune is not a solid planet, the rotational speeds observed in its atmosphere vary greatly by latitude. The calculated rotational velocity is about 2.68 km/sec at the equator (about 9660 km/hr or 6000 mph), about 6 times as fast as on Earth.

How long does it take to rotate to Neptune axis?

Neptune takes 16 hours, 6 minutes and 36 seconds to rotate once on its axis. That's about 2/3rds of an Earth Day. Note that the period of rotation is measured by watching Neptune's magnetic field. The time cited is the time it takes the "whole planet" to rotate once on its axis. This is important because Neptune is not solid - it's a big gas planet, and the atmosphere is rotating at different speeds.


How many planet days does it take Neptune to rotate on its own axis?

Neptune takes 16 hours 6 minutes and 36 seconds to rotate or spin once on its axis, or 0.67125 Earth days.
