Triton is a moon of which planet?
Triton is the largest moon of the planet Neptune. It is similar in composition and size to Pluto (even a little larger), so is thought to have been a Kuiper belt object that was 'captured' by Neptune many years ago.Triton is the largest moon of the planet Neptune.Triton orbits Neptune, and is the planet's largest moon.
What is Planet x?
Planet X is a hypothetical planet beyond Neptune that has been proposed to exist in the outer reaches of our solar system. It has not been directly observed, but its existence has been theorized to explain anomalies in the orbits of outer planets. Scientists are still searching for evidence of such a planet.
What planet has a storm like feature called the Great Dark Spot?
The planet Neptune had a great dark spot. It soon vanished after discovery, leading astronomers to believe it was just a temporary storm, unlike the Great Red Spot on Jupiter which has been raging for hundreds of years. See the related link for more information.
What planet may have been a moon of Neptune at one time.?
None - but there was an old theory that Pluto MIGHT have been a moon of Neptune. (It shows up in old science fiction stories [see Larry Nevin]).
Which planet has never been visited by man?
Neptune has never been visited by humans. All of the other planets in our solar system have been the target of various robotic missions, but Neptune remains unexplored by humans.
Why did they name Neptune after a god?
Neptune has been the name of the planet since Roman times.
Why do astronomers believe Triton may have been a planet that was captured by Neptune?
Astronomers believe Triton may have been a planet that was captured by Neptune because it orbits in the opposite direction of Neptune's rotation and is tilted compared to the planet's other moons. This suggests it did not form in place with the other moons of Neptune, but rather was captured later in the planet's history.
How many moons are there on the planet Neptune?
There are no moons ON Neptune, moons orbit a planet, they do not sit on it.Orbiting Neptune, however, 13 moons have been discovered so far. They are:NaiadThalassaDespinaGalateaLarisaaProteusTritonNereidHalimedeSaoLaomedeiaPsamatheNeso
What discoveries and facts have been made by man-made satellites on Neptune?
Man-made satellites have provided valuable information about Neptune's atmosphere, weather patterns, and magnetic field. They have helped scientists study the planet's unique features such as its Great Dark Spot, powerful winds, and complex ring system. Satellites also provide data on Neptune's moons, helping to deepen our understanding of the planet's gravitational interactions.
What planet does that moon orbit?
Scientists once thought that Pluto might be an escaped moon of Neptune, but this hypothesis has been largely discredited.
Can you give an example of a sentence using the word theorize?
One could theorize that she had been trained as a public speaker, given Molly's ability to command the podium and conduct the meeting.
What problems have been sent to Neptune?
the problem is that Neptune is a way to cold place to check anything out . it is -235 degrees and it is a water planet so no one would be able to research on the planet or even Set foot on it , also Neptune is a gas planet so you wouldn't be able to even breath there

How many years Neptune became the farthest planet in the solar system?
Neptune has always been the farthest planet, but we didn't always know that. On August 24, 2006, when the International Astronomical Union (IAU) defined what it means to be a "planet", Neptune earned it's badge as the most distant (from the sun) planet in our solar system. Prior to that, when Pluto was referred to as a planet, it last crossed inside of Neptune's orbit on February 7, 1979 leaving Neptune as the most distant planet until February 11, 1999. Pluto's orbit crosses inside of Neptune's orbit for 20 years out of every 248.

Has anyone dug a hole in Neptune before?
No. Nobody has ever been to Neptune. Also, Neptune is a gas planet. There is no solid surface to dig a hole in.
What new planets have been discovered recently this year?
Scientists have evidence of and say that a new Neptune sized planet lurks beyond the edge of our solar system. There has been no visual sighting of this planet. However it is probably so far out it will be very difficult to find given present technologies.
