neptune is big and round and blue
It takes Lindsey M.
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.
Neptune's year, or the time it takes to orbit around the sun, is a little under 165 of our Earth years.
10.656 hours is how long it takes Saturn to rotate one time on its axis. That is the length of time for a 'day' on Saurn.

Neptune's year, or the time it takes to orbit around the sun, is a little under 165 of our Earth years.
Neptune takes about 165 Earth years.
10.656 hours is how long it takes Saturn to rotate one time on its axis. That is the length of time for a 'day' on Saurn.
16 hours
It takes Neptune 165 years to take a full rotatation around the sun.
It takes 23.9345 hours. The axis is tilted by 23.44 degrees.
A year is the amount of time it takes a body to complete one orbit of the sun. A day is the amount of time it takes for a body to rotate on its axis. A week is seven days. A day on Neptune is 16 h 6 min 36 s. A year on Neptune is 164.8 (earth) years or one Neptune year. Multiply the length of day by 7 and divide it into the length of year.
It takes 27.32 of the time interval that we call our "day".
