The atmosphere of Neptune has the fastest winds of any solar planet. Their speeds have been measured up to 2100 km/hr (1300 mph). One of the features of the planet as late as 1989 was a fast-moving Great Dark Spot (analogous to Jupiter's Great Red Spot) on its Southern Hemisphere, and within it a smaller triangular white patch of storms, which was nicknamed "Scooter". However, by the time of 1994's examination of Neptune by the Hubble Space Telescope, the Great Dark Spot had disappeared, and along with it, Scooter. A new spot on the northern hemisphere is called the Northern Great Spot.

What terrestrial planet is shrouded in thick cloud cover?

The terrestrial planet shrouded in thick cloud cover is Venus. Its atmosphere is primarily composed of carbon dioxide, with clouds of sulfuric acid, creating a runaway greenhouse effect that leads to extremely high surface temperatures. The dense cloud cover prevents direct observation of the planet's surface, making Venus appear as a bright, featureless orb in the sky.


Is there a hole in the oort cloud when nibiru passes through it?

There is no scientific evidence to support the claim of a planet-sized object like "Nibiru" passing through the Oort Cloud. The Oort Cloud is a theoretical region of space beyond the planets, containing icy bodies, comets, and debris. It is highly unlikely that such an event would create a hole in the Oort Cloud.


Which planet's cloud cover reflects light from the sun making it appear bright in the night sky?

Venus


Which planet is a cool solid surface with a thin carbon dioxide atmosphere and occasional dust cloud?

mars
