Uranus was discovered by William Herschel on March 13, 1781, 229 years ago.
Neptune, however, was first observed on September 23, 1846, only 164 years ago.
Of course they had been in the solar system for a few billion years.
It's just that they weren't in our model of the solar system, until discovered.

Myths and legends of planet Neptune?
Neptune was formed around 4.5 billion years ago, along with the other planets in the solar system. Neptune is the fourth largest planet, after Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus. Almost identical in size to Uranus, its sister planet, Neptune was formed, along with the other planets, from the primordial Solar Nebula. While the larger planets (Jupiter and Saturn) received the lion's share of the nebula's hydrogen and helium, Uranus and Neptune appear to have received only rock and ice
Where in the solar system is Neptune?
Neptune is the eighth planet from the sun. It is about the size of its neighboring planet, Uranus. It has a Great Dark Spot that swirls in its atmosphere.it is located between uranus and the kuiper belt.
What planets spin in the solar system?
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, neptune and Uranus. Not Pluto. 2 years ago it became a dwarf planet and does not count as a planet anymore.
How long does it take Uranus Neptune and Pluto to orbit the sun?
It takes Uranus 84.01 earth years. Neptune 164.80. And Pluto 248.00 years.
What planets are further from the sun than Uranus?
The planets that are farther from the Sun than Earth are (in this order): * Mars * Jupiter * Saturn * Uranus * Neptune and sometimes Y, er, I mean the Dwarf Planet Pluto. (It's 'sometimes' because Pluto's orbit brings it closer to the Sun than Neptune part of the time [most recently for 20 years ending in 1999] which is one of the reasons why it was reclassified as a Dwarf Planet.)
How does uranus move in the solar system?
It orbits round the Sun in an orbit between Saturn and Neptune, one trip round takes 84 years.

When was each planet added to the solar system?
The planets formed in the solar system about 5 billion years ago, they weren't "added to it" later. The discovery of the planets is lost in the mists of prehistory, except for Uranus (1781) and Neptune (1846).
Is their an extra planet Iart he solar system?

Is there a new planet with rings?
There is no new planets: the ones in the Solar system have been around for about 4 billion years! All but two: Uranus and Neptune are visible to the naked eye and so mankind has known about them for ever. The last planet to be discovered was Neptune, in 1846. So nothing new.
What major planet in the solar system has the longest orbital period?
Neptune, at about 165 Earth years.
What Is Neptune's Age?
Neptune's years are 164.8 Earth years. Its days are 16 hours and 6.7 minutes long. Although Neptune's days are shorter than our days, its years are still longer than ours.
