Astronomers predicted the existence and orbit of Neptune based on?
neptune's gravitational effect on the orbit of uranus
Astronomers predicted its existence by observing the effects of its gravity.?
Neptune
What two heavenly bodies which were predicted to exist before they were sighted are?
Neptune and Pluto
What planet was predicted based on gravitational forces and newtons laws?
Neptune, based on observations of Uranus.
Did Newton find Neptune?
No. The existence of Neptune was predicted in 1821 by Alexis Boulevard and was later discovered by Urbain Le Verrier in 1846. Newton died in 1727.
Who discouvered Neptune?
Urbain Leverrier found it but John C. Adams first predicted neptune was there.

Who discovered Neptune in 1989?
Nobody did. Neptune's existence was predicted in the early 1800s and was discovered in 1846 by Johann Gottfried Galle. In 1989 Neptune was visited by the Voyager 2 space probe.
What planet was predicted based on gravitational forces and newtons laws?
Neptune, based on observations of Uranus.
Did Newton find Neptune?
No. The existence of Neptune was predicted in 1821 by Alexis Boulevard and was later discovered by Urbain Le Verrier in 1846. Newton died in 1727.
Was Neptune accidentally discovered?
No. The existence of Neptune was predicted based on the slight disturbance of its gravity on the orbit of Uranus. Astronomers then searched for this then-unknown planet.
What planet did astronomers predict its existence by observing the effects of gravity?
Neptune was predicted by astronomers be observing the effects of its gravity. Neptune was discovered in 1846 by Johann Gottfried Galle.
What scientist discovered Neptune?
The astronomer Galle, assisted by d'Arrest, discovered Neptune. Credit is also given to Adams and Le Verrier. They were mathematicians who predicted the position of Neptune. Le Verrier persuaded astronomers to search for the new planet.
What was the discovery of neptune due to?
Mathematical calculations to explain an anomaly in the orbit of Uranus. predicted it existence before it was seen.
What satellite discovered Neptune?
Neptune was not discovered by a satellite, it was discovered 23 September 1846 by Johann Galle using a telescope, within a degree of the position predicted by Urbain Le Verrier using calculations.
