In the 1800s why did astronomers predict that the planet neptune would be discovered well before anyone had seen it?
Astronomers saw some deviations from the expect orbit of the planet Uranus. Based on these deviations, some theorized that Uranus was being pulled out of its expect orbit by another planet, which turned out be Neptune.
What evidence led scientists to believe Neptune existed before they ever saw it?
Unexpected changes in the orbit of Uranus led astronomers to believe that there was another planet affecting its orbit. Detailed studies of Uranus's orbit allowed them to predict its existence and location.
Was found by astronomers who noticed a strange pattern in the orbit of Uranus.?
Neptune
What observation caused astronomers to search for Neptune?
Irregularities in Uranus's orbit.
Does Uranus have robots?
No, of course not. But astronomers are searching for alien life in Mars.
Why do astronomers think that Uranus may have been hit by another object billions of years ago?
Because its axis of rotation is on its side. Earth tilts at about 23.5° whereas Uranus is tilted at close to 98°.
Why Uranus is totally tilted?
Astronomers aren't sure why. Uranus may have been involved in a collision with another large object. We don't know.
How did astronomers now where to look to discover Neptune?
Astronomers had noticed unexpected changes in the orbit of Uranus: the only explanation was another planet. Detailed study of the orbit of Uranus led to estimates about the size and location of Neptune.
What planet were scientist studying when they found neptune?
Astronomers were actually studying another planet, Uranus.

What do astronomers now believe about Pluto affecting uranus's and neptune's orbits?
Astronomers now realize that Pluto does not have nearly enough mass to noticeably affect the orbits of Uranus or Neptune.
Which astronomers discovered Uranus' Ariel and Unbriel moons?
Ya mum.

How many moons did astronomers believe Uranus had?
Astonomeres have made the calculation of 27 moons and their calculatoins were right tere are 27 moons on Uranus
