What skills did the astronomers use when they discover neptune?

Astronomers used observational and mathematical skills to discover Neptune. They observed irregularities in the orbit of Uranus and calculated the gravitational influence needed to explain these irregularities, leading them to predict and discover the existence of Neptune.


The predicted location of Neptune was made possible because?

Newton's Universal Gravitation and anomalies in Uranus' orbit. J.C. Adams and U.J.J. Le Verrier noticed anomalies in Uranus' orbit and attributed those to another unseen planet pulling on it. That hypothesis isn't possible without the acceptance of Universal Gravitation.

What is a super easy way toremember the planets in order?

One way to remember the planets in order is to use the mnemonic "My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Noodles." This phrase represents the order of the planets in the solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.


What did Ptolemy and Copernicus use to try to explain the universe?

The use of mathematics facilitated the discovery of this planet?

Neptune. Because of the accidental discovery of Uranus, it was calculated that a larger body had to have been disrupting it's orbit. A comet, asteroid and star were ruled out as the cause of a disruption because they were incapable of staying in such a regular motion around the sun. Therefore the body had to be a planet. Using the obervational information from Uranus' disruptions it was calculated where Neptune should be at any one time.
