Neptune was found after the found of Uranus. When scientists found Uranus, they noticed that the way Uranus was rotating was a little strange, then they knew the reason it was rotating strangely! There was another planet making it rotate like that! So the scientists started their work----the work of finding another planet. Few years after Neptune was discovered. They named Neptune after the Roman god of Sea, because the planet's blueness reminded people of water.
