What is the surface of Neptune like?

Answer 1

It is a gas giant. It is mostly gas but is believed to have rock and ice core about 9500 miles in diameter. So there is a surface under a dense atmosphere over 10,000 miles thick of mostly hydrogen and helium with a small amount of methane. The temperature at the surface is -200 degrees Celsius. The planet has the highest winds of any planet in the solar system, reaching up to 1,200 mph. The surface pressure is 980 times that of Earth's.

Answer 2

Neptune orbits the sun at about 5.43 km/s in a 164.79 year period to make one orbit around the sun. It has 13 satellites that orbit around it. Its primary atmosphere, the mantle of water, ammonia, iced methane (unlike Earth the mantle can be penetrated), finally the iced over rocky core. These conditions hind Neptune's true features, this is the same reason why scientise dub Neptune and Uranus almost feature less. Like all the gas giants, Neptune has a thin ring of dust and ice. Neptune has a Great Dark Spot that's comparable to Jupiter's Great Red Spot.

Answer 3

Neptune doesn't really have a surface to have characteristics. Its surface is its atmosphere, which is made up of hydrogen, helium, methane, and has storms scattered through out the planet. The Great Dark Spot is a storm that is moving ten times faster than a hurricane.

Answer 4

ØThe inner part of Neptune is contained of a rocky core with

many pieces of ice, and topped with a deep layer of liquid hydrogen.Ø The half of Neptune is covered with rock and ice.

ØThe upper level of Neptune isn't rocky or icy at all it is an big ocean.

ØThe ocean is made out of hydrogen, helium, and water, but also ammonia and methane.

ØNeptune has gigantic cirrus clouds, and lots of storms.

Answer 5

Neptune's surface is composed of a thick layer of gas, primarily hydrogen and helium, with trace amounts of methane and water vapor. Due to its lack of a solid surface, Neptune is considered a gas giant planet. The upper atmosphere of Neptune contains swirling clouds and strong winds, with temperatures reaching as low as -218 degrees Celsius.

Answer 6

the great dark spot, and the second great dark spot and that is all that i know at this time.

Answer 7

Neptune has a ring system and is close to uranus and pluto

Answer 8

Neptune is a gaseous plant. As with other gaseous planets, Neptune does not have a definitive surface layer. Neptune is thought to have 13 moons.

Answer 9

It would be icy and very cold. BRRRRR!!!
