What is the internal structure of Neptune?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Neptune is primarily composed of gas, with a dense core made up of rock and metal. The core accounts for approximately 15-20% of the planet's mass. Surrounding the core is a layer of icy materials, such as water, ammonia, and methane. Above this layer is the atmosphere, mainly consisting of hydrogen, helium, and methane.

Is there a stronger gravitation attraction between the Sun and Neptune?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, the strength of gravitation attraction between two celestial bodies depends on their masses and the distance between them. The Sun has a much larger mass than Neptune, so it exerts a stronger gravitational force on the planet. However, the distance between the Sun and Neptune is much greater than the distance between the Sun and Earth, so the gravitational force between the Sun and Neptune is weaker than the force between the Sun and Earth.

What spaceships have been to Neptune?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

To date, no spacecraft has been to Neptune. However, the Voyager 2 spacecraft performed a flyby of Neptune in 1989, providing valuable data and images of the planet and its moons. The New Horizons spacecraft, known for its Pluto flyby, is currently on its way to explore other objects in the Kuiper Belt and beyond, but it is not scheduled to visit Neptune.

Is the planet Neptune a big ocean world?

User Avatar

Asked by JamieMaddux

Yes, Neptune is often referred to as an "ocean world" because it is primarily composed of hydrogen and helium gases, with a significant amount of water, methane, and other volatile compounds in its atmosphere. However, Neptune is not a solid planet covered in seawater; its "ocean" is a layer of liquid water, ammonia, and methane deep beneath its gaseous atmosphere.

HOW FAST DOES Neptune ROATATE?

Neptune rotates on its axis at a speed of about 16 hours and 6 minutes, resulting in a relatively slow rotation compared to Earth's 24-hour day. This means that Neptune has a longer day than Earth.

Why does Neptunes rings seem to be incomplete?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Neptune's rings may seem incomplete because they are made up of small particles and debris that are scattered over a wide area. These particles may not be evenly distributed and may have gaps or spaces between them, creating the appearance of an incomplete ring. Additionally, Neptune's rings are relatively faint and not as dense as the rings of other gas giants, which can also contribute to the perceived incompleteness.

What drives the belts of whirling clouds and storms ble in images of Neptune's atmosphere?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The belts of whirling clouds and storms in Neptune's atmosphere are driven by a combination of factors, including the planet's fast rotation and its global weather patterns. Neptune is the windiest planet in our solar system, with incredibly strong and persistent winds that can reach speeds of up to 1,200 miles per hour. These winds create large-scale vortex systems, similar to Earth's hurricanes, giving rise to the distinct belts and storms visible in images of Neptune's atmosphere.

What is Nereid?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

a.) Nereid: In Greek mythology, the nereids were sea-nymphs, daughters of the nymph Doris and of Nereus. They number in fifty (although it is sometimes said that they number in 100). Sometimes seen frolicking on the surface of the water, the nereids (whose name means 'wet ones') lived in the underwater palace of their father. These virgins had golden hair and each had a golden throne in their father's palace. They wove and spun and often rode on dolphins. b.) Nereid is also the name of one of Neptune's moons and so is Triton!

Which sea is so named because it is too salty to maintain life?

Asked by Wiki User

The question makes no sense. Water being extremely salty inhibits the presence of life; it does not support it. The Dead Sea, the saltiest sea on Earth is practically devoid of life because of its saltiness.

Who discovered stars?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The first recorded astronomy was by Ancient Egyptian Astronomers in c.2500 A.D.
1,254,478 years ago, the caveman named "Ugggh the caveman" happened to be at the top of a tree while a saber-toothed tiger prowled around below. Ugggh had never been out after dark; after all, part of the caveman code of conduct required all cavepeepul to be IN their caves before sunset. But today, he had wisely decided to remain in the tree after dark instead of leaping into the tiger's belly!

Instead of seeing only rocks in the dark roof of the cave, there were strange lights in the sky! First one, then another, then three, then.... Alas, Ugggh didn't know any numbers bigger then three, so he said "Stars above, those are MANY little lights in the sky!" And so he decided to name them 'stars".

A constellation is a group of bright objects in the sky like stars and galaxies that have been grouped together to form a picture supposedly resembling an object or individuals from mythology. To ask if a constellation is bigger than earth is the same as asking is the ocean bigger than a drop of water. Yes it is.

Does Neptune have any rings?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Neptune has 5 (FIVE) ring but they're too faint to see

*Added*

They are broken rings or in some cases "ring arcs" 3 of them are narrow and 2 of them are wide.

Yes, Neptune has several faint rings around it. There are three main rings which are very thin and dark. The rings are made up of small rocks and dust. Neptune's rings are not the same thickness all around. There are areas of the rings which are much thicker than other areas of the rings. These thicker parts are called ring arcs. Some of these ring arcs are also twisted. Because Neptune's rings are so dark and faint, they were not discovered until the 1980s.
