No. Its apparent magnitude (i.e., brightness) is about 8; with the naked eye, we can see objects up to approximately magnitude 6.
No, Neptune cannot be seen without a telescope. It is too dim and far away for the naked eye to detect, with a magnitude of about 7. It requires at least a small telescope or a strong pair of binoculars to observe it, along with knowledge of its location in the night sky.
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.
King Neptune XIV
Neptune is named after Neptune, the Roman god of water and the sea, the brother of Jupiter and Pluto. Neptune's equivalent in Greek mythology is Poseidon. Neptune was named after a sea god because the planet looked like a big blue ocean.
The apparent magnitude of Neptune is 7.8

Sorry, no. Neptune has a magnitude of about 7.8, which is below the level of visibility. It wouldn't take a very large telescope to find it, but you would need to know exactly where to look.
the sun is much much more massive than Neptune
Oh honey, Neptune is no shrinking violet - it's the fourth largest planet by diameter in our solar system after Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus. It's nearly 17 times the mass of Earth, making it heftier than all the other planets combined. In the grand celestial pecking order, Neptune may not wear the biggest crown, but it certainly ain't no lightweight either.

On a very clear dark night, well away from artificial lights... yes. 6th magnitude is usually taken as the limit of naked-eye vision under ideal conditions; Uranus is just a little brighter than that. Neptune, though, at around magnitude 8, is in the "wishful thinking" category.
Why is Neptune blue? Neptune
