Uranus and Neptune are sometimes called the twin ice giants: they are of similar size, composition, and relative distance from the sun.
By comparison, Earth and Venus are also often referred to as twins, for many of the same reasons.
But like Earth and Venus, Uranus and Neptune do have substantial differences: early in its history, Uranus was struck by something large and tilted onto its side, while Neptune has the fasted winds ever recorded in the solar system and the giant captured moon Triton, which orbits the planet in retrograde (backwards).
The reason they are considered to be sister, or twin planets, is because they are almost identical in size, and because they both appear to be blue. Their chemical makeup is almost identical as well.
It's named Neptune after the Roman God of the Sea, Neptune. It was given this name because of its sea blue color. In Greek mythology Neptune was also called Poseidon (hope it is more familiar)
Hope i helped :)
It's the Roman name of the sea god, Poseidon :)
Posidon is Greek, they named it after Neptune,the Roman God of the sea.
Because Neptune is the roman name for Posidon (The ancient greek god over water) and, like water, planet neptune is blue.
Because they have similar color and they are both called "ice giants"
No, the twin planet of Uranus is my dick.

The Gas Giant planets are: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
Neptune and Uranus both have high concentrations of methane in their atmospheres.
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are the four Jovian planets in this solar system.
Of the presently known planets, Uranus and Neptune are farthest from the sun.Uranus, NeptuneOr maybe better to say "Neptune, Uranus" in that order as Neptune is further away than Uranus.
Yes Neptune is its sister
Uranus and Neptune are called the sister planets
yes Neptune and Uranus are almost identical. They are also called sister planets. Earth and Venus are also called sister planets

Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune are the outer planets and are also gas giant planets.
Neptune and Uranus are identical planets

Uranus, and Neptune
No planets surround Neptune. But the closest planet is Uranus.
Yes Neptune is its sister
