Neptune is never "close" to Earth at all. All of the other planets are closer.
Neptune is the farthest major planet from the Sun, and in its orbit does not get any closer to the Sun than the other seven planets. Its distance from Earth depends on Earth's location in its own orbit, but is never any less than 4.3 billion kilometers, and never more than 4.7 billion kilometers. Neptune is 30 times farther from the Sun than Earth.
What else can I help you with?
How close was Neptune to the sun in 1989?
Neptune was approximately 2.7 billion miles (4.4 billion kilometers) away from the Sun in 1989. Neptune's distance from the Sun varies due to its elliptical orbit, with its closest approach (perihelion) being about 2.7 billion miles and its farthest distance (aphelion) being about 2.8 billion miles.
What is the orbit of Neptune from the sun in AU?
Aphelion (max) -30.4 AUPerihelion (min) - 29.8 AUAverage 30.1AU
Does a planet travel fastest at aphelion or perihelion?
Neptune is located at aphelion in its orbit. It is the furthest from the Sun while it is in its orbit.
When is Jupiter's aphelion?
Saturn's aphelion is when Saturn is farthest from the Sun.At that point it is about 1,513,326,000 km (10.1 AU) away from our star (measured from center of mass to center of mass).
Is Pluto perihelion or aphelion?
Pluto's perihelion distance is about 4.4 billion kilometers, while its aphelion distance is about 7.4 billion kilometers from the Sun. So, Pluto is closer to the Sun at perihelion and farther away at aphelion.

Does a planet travel fastest at aphelion or perihelion?
Neptune is located at aphelion in its orbit. It is the furthest from the Sun while it is in its orbit.
Does earth experience overall cooling when at aphelion?
Yes because the Earth is farthest from the sun. The heat of the sun is not as close to the Earth as it was before.
When is the speed of a planet revolving around the sun the slowest?
When it is farthest from the Sun. This point is known as aphelion. *Aphelion = Furthest point from the Sun.
When is Jupiter's aphelion?
Saturn's aphelion is when Saturn is farthest from the Sun.At that point it is about 1,513,326,000 km (10.1 AU) away from our star (measured from center of mass to center of mass).
How far does Neptune get to the sun?
I think the question means "how close" to the Sun. The nearest Neptune gets to the Sun is about 4,453 million kilometers. Its orbit is fairly close to being a circle, so the farthest it gets from the Sun isn't much different.
Aphelion is the term for when the earth's orbit brings it farthest away from what?
The sun. Aphelion is the point in Earth's orbit where it is farthest from the sun.
How much sunlight does Neptune need?
Not a lot, because it has ice caps and so Neptune is known for its ice. If it was close to the sun then no ice for Neptune. ~for you!
Is Pluto perihelion or aphelion?
Pluto's perihelion distance is about 4.4 billion kilometers, while its aphelion distance is about 7.4 billion kilometers from the Sun. So, Pluto is closer to the Sun at perihelion and farther away at aphelion.
How close can you get to planet Neptune?
neptune is the eighth planet from the sun . Comment: You can get as close as you like, but you would need a very good spacecraft and it would take years to get there.
How do you use the word Aphelion?
Aphelion is the point in a planet's or comet's orbit where it is farthest from the Sun. The Earth's aphelion is 152,098,232 km.
