No
Yes, Neptune spins on its axis much faster than Earth. Neptune has a rotational period of about 16 hours, while Earth's rotational period is about 24 hours. This rapid spin on Neptune contributes to its strong and dynamic weather systems.
2.5 months. Collusion is set for Earth on 7/21/12
The rotation of the planet Neptune is much faster than Earth's. It completes a rotational "day" in about 16 Earth hours. So in an Earth year (365.25 Earth days), Neptune completes about 544 Neptune days. In a Neptune year, there are about 89,666 Neptune days.
yes because with out its orbit it would be as slow as a snail
Each day on Neptune takes 19.1 Earth hours. A year on Neptune takes 164.8 Earth years; it takes almost 165 Earth years for Neptune to orbit the sun once. Since Neptune was discovered in 1846, it has not yet completed a single revolution around the sun.

It would take over 16,000 Earth days, or around 44 Earth years, for a spacecraft to travel from Earth to Neptune at its average distance from Earth. The actual time would depend on the speed and trajectory of the spacecraft.
At the speed of light it takes 4 hours 11 minutes and 27 seconds.
Neptune's rotation period about axis is 17.24 hours, while Neptune's revolution period about the Sun is 165 years.
No. The best information about the planet comes from the probe Voyager 2, which passed near Neptune in August 1989. It has been studied telescopically from Earth orbit by the Hubble Telescope and from Earth observatories using adaptive optics technology.
The closest distance of earth and neptune is 4.301 billion kilometers and the farthest distance of earth and neptune is 4.553 billion kilometers. So, the time to reach Neptune ranges from 8.602 hours to 9.106 hours.
Neptune moves slowly because it rotates on its axis every 16 hours and orbits the sun every 164.79 Earth years.
