That is actually a fascinating question.
It would be a race between which would kill you faster, the intense cold of negative 373 degrees Fahrenheit atmospheric temperature, or the poisonous atmosphere of hydrogen, helium and methane.
There is no solid surface, and no possible sources of food or potable water - but that's irrelevant, as you'd be dead before that could become an issue.
As liquid nitrogen is used to flash freeze organic food stuffs, and occurs virtually instantaneously, and as the freeze point of liquid nitrogen is negative 346 degrees, one can see that give Neptune's temperature, you would freeze solid before you could choke to death for lack of oxygen.
If you were very observant, you might notice in the second or two you'd have, that you were being buffeted by winds of around 1,200 miles per hour. I suppose this "wind chill" would make the negative 330 to 360 degrees feel colder, but I doubt you'd exist long enough to complain!
Assuming you were in a spacesuit, you'd still die. You'd have until you dropped through the atmosphere to the molten core comprised of rock, ammonia and methane. And as the gravity is 114% of Earths, drop you would. If you started at the top of the atmosphere, you would accelerate downward at approximately 36 feet per second per second, reaching a maximum velocity of approximately 137 miles per hour within 10 seconds.
As the atmosphere is about 4,350 miles deep, you'd have about 32 hours to be blown around before hitting that molten surface. Assuming you had 32 hours of air in your suit tanks, and assuming the winds and conditions didn't damage or destroy your suit.
There you have it. No suit, about 1 or 2 seconds. With a suit, possibly 32 hours, but probably not. The top of the atmosphere has unusually high temperatures of around 900 degrees, plummeting down to negative 373 degrees. This would have effects difficult for any of our standard protective suits to deal with, neverminding that there are bits of super heated debris blowing through the atmosphere at trans-sonic speeds!
Your best chance of survival is then to either not go there, or stay in the spaceship that took you there!

How long is the night on Neptune?
The day on Neptune is 16 hours long, so the average night would be eight hours long. this is bull and i am a hermaphrodite
How long did it take the space shuttle to get to Neptune?
There have been no space shuttle landings on Neptune. It would be impossible to land on Neptune for two reasons: 1 - Neptune is a gas giant 2 - Neptune is freezing cold, electronic equipment would freeze and malfunction
How long would it take the satellite to reach Neptune?
How long it would take to get to Neptune from Earth would depend on the path chosen and on where Neptune and Earth were in their orbits when the mission was launched. For example, the Voyager 2 spacecraft was launched on Aug 20, 1977 and it reached Neptune on Aug 24, 1989. So, Voyager 2 took about twelve years to reach Neptune.
Why couldn't anyone live on the planet Neptune?
People cannot live on Neptune because it has no solid surface, only a molten core of liquid rock, water and ammonia. Also, it's four thousand mile thick atmosphere of hydrogen, helium and methane has temperature ranges from negative 360 degrees Fahrenheit to 900 degees Fahrenheit, winds of up to 1,200 miles per hour and chunks of molten debris whirling about. It's gravity is 114% that of Earth, and that is about the best that can be said for it, as that would add little to your weight in the second or two you would live unprotected.

Would you be squashed by the gravity on neptune?
No. Neptune has an atmosphere made mostly of hydrogen and helium. While this atmosphere would cause asphyxiation, a person would not choke. Regardless, Neptune is so cold than a person would freeze to death before they could asphyxiate.
How Long Could A persone Live in Neptune?
2/3 of a Neptune year. That is if you live to be 109 earth years old.
Would you get frost bite if you went into Neptune's atmosphere?
You wouldn't live long enough to get frostbite, so I wouldn't worry about it.
How long would a person live on Jupiter?
you cant live on jupider dummy!
How long can a homeless person live?
The life expectancy of a homeless person can vary depending on factors such as access to healthcare, shelter, food, and safety. Without adequate resources and support, homeless individuals face higher rates of illness, malnutrition, violence, and exposure to harsh weather conditions, which can impact their overall health and lifespan. It is important for communities to provide assistance and resources to support the well-being of homeless individuals.
How long would a person be able to live on mars?
As long as you had brought supplies for, as there is nothing there.

Not as long as long as you would if you DIDN'T drink alcohol.
