neptune is big and round and blue
Neptune takes 16 hours, 6 minutes and 36 seconds to rotate once on its axis. That's about 2/3rds of an Earth Day. Note that the period of rotation is measured by watching Neptune's magnetic field. The time cited is the time it takes the "whole planet" to rotate once on its axis. This is important because Neptune is not solid - it's a big gas planet, and the atmosphere is rotating at different speeds.
Neptune's year, or the time it takes to orbit around the sun, is a little under 165 of our Earth years.
10.656 hours is how long it takes Saturn to rotate one time on its axis. That is the length of time for a 'day' on Saurn.
16 hours
doodey what the heck is doodey? last time i checked that wasn't a date or a time so please get it right.

Neptune takes about 165 Earth years.
It takes Neptune 165 years to take a full rotatation around the sun.
10.656 hours is how long it takes Saturn to rotate one time on its axis. That is the length of time for a 'day' on Saurn.

It takes 23.9345 hours. The axis is tilted by 23.44 degrees.

Triton is a moon of Neptune and is tidally locked, meaning it rotates once on its axis in the same amount of time it takes to orbit Neptune, about 5.9 Earth days. This synchronous rotation causes the same side of Triton to always face Neptune.
