Why does Neptune have 13 satellites even though it is not orbited by human made objects?
Well, call me a scientist, satellites are sometimes known as ANYTHING that can orbit a rock, star or planet. So, Neptune does have eleven (or more, who knows) moons. Satellites are usually known as the man-made space telescopes, but they can be anything that orbits. Here, let me explain: Planets: Mercury, Earth, Venus... (you know)
Stars: The sun
Satellites: The moon, Hubble telescope, and other of Earths satellites
What else can I help you with?
Currently no human made objects are orbiting Neptune yet Neptune has eight satellites explain?
Neptune actually has 13 satellites, Naiad, Thalassa, Despina, Galatea, Larissa, Proteus, Triton, Nereid, Halimede, Sao, Laomedeia, Pasamathe, and Neso. Also, you may note that your question is incomplete, so I'll try to give a "shot in the dark" at answering your question. Though Neptune has 13 known satellites, it likely has more that are beyond the detection capabilities of modern telescopes. Out there at the edge of the Sol System, lighting isn't too good, so it's harder to find those small moons. With the exception of Triton, Neptune's moons are rather small. Triton orbits Neptune counter-clockwise, as opposed to the rest of the moons which orbit Neptune clockwise. This is because Triton is believed to have been captured earlier in the history of the Sol System. It's believed Uranus had a large collision or two that resulted in enough debris being shot into orbit to generate several relatively large moons, and provided Uranus with a ring system. Neptune isn't believed to have any such event. So Neptune's satellites (with the exception of Triton, again) are generally smaller.
What planets existed in the year 1600 that orbited your sun?
The same planets that orbit today, though Uranus and Neptune had yet to be discovered, along with Pluto (now regarded as a Dwarf Planet).
What is a description of the most important satellite of Neptune?
Triton
What is the no of satellites of the planets?
well, all planets have different numbers of satellites... if you start from first planet Mercury, it has no natural satellite. Venus is also free of that.. Earth has one big that we can see and its called Moon or Luna(Greek for Moon) but astronomer say that earth has more than one, probably seven or some say two. Mars has two, Jupiter has 63 known satellites to date (including biggest satellite in solar system Ganymede) , Saturn has 60 to 62, Uranus has 27 known satellites, Neptune has 13 known satellites and Pluto has 3 (Not a planet anymore though)
Is Neptune a comet?
It's possible. Neptune can be struck by any of these space objects just like earth or any other planet can, if the orbital conditions allow them to come into contact. As regards any of these space objects changing the orbit of Neptune by passing close by, the mass of Neptune is too great to have its orbit significatly affected by any of these "small" objects.
Why does Neptune have eight satellites even though it is not orbited by human made objects?
because it just is ok?
Why does Neptune have eight satellites even though it is not orbited by human-made objects?
because there moons. D to the uh

Which planet has thirteen natural satellites?
In Solar System there is no planet having thirteen moons, though the Neptune has 14 moons instead.

Why isn't the thermosphere a hot place even though it has very high temperatures?
The thermosphere has very low density of molecules, so even though it has high temperatures, there are very few molecules to transfer that heat to objects such as satellites. This is why satellites can operate in the thermosphere without overheating.

Is there air and water on Neptune?
no there is only hydrogen on Neptune, but good answer though ;p
How did the Sun and Neptune get their names?
Neptune is the greek god of the sea and this planet is blue so thats why its called neptune. not sure about the sun though
How many moons are found on Neptune in2012?
There are 13 moons orbiting Neptune; there aren't any ON it though.
Is Neptune larger or smaller the earth?
We are making Neptune much bigger than actually it is, but it is just almost thrice the size of Earth. Even though it is the smallest of gas giants, it has a mass more than that of Uranus. So, Neptune is much massive than Earth, at least 17 times, so the volume of Neptune will be at least 50 times the volume of Earth. It will take 3 Earths to make a belt around Neptune. And also, there maybe some objects which are larger than Earth, but smaller than Neptune.
