Planet Neptune

The closest star to Neptune is the sun. As all the planets orbit at different speeds, it is possible that different ones can be nearer. Pluto is usually the nearest to Neptune.

It takes Neptune 165 Earth years to circle the Sun ONCE. The amount of time it takes for any planet to circle the sun is one year. Its year is longer because it is further away. Its orbit is much larger than Earth's.

25.39 pounds would be your weight on the Moon.

You call them Aliens Extratrestrials and Neptunians.

Neptune -is- the Roman name for the God of the Sea. The Greek name is Poseidon.

The Roman version of Uranus/Ouranos is Caelus.

No. Humans have never been farther from Earth than the moon. Currently, barring a handful of astronauts on the International Space Station, all humans are on Earth. People could never live on Neptune. It has no solid surface and is far too cold.

No, Neptune's orbit is actually more eccentric (less circular) than Earth's orbit. Neptune's orbit is more elongated, with a greater difference between its closest and farthest points from the Sun compared to Earth's orbit.

Yes, planet Neptune is named after the Roman god of the sea, Neptune. In Roman mythology, Neptune was the god of water and the sea. The planet's name reflects its striking blue color and its position as the farthest known planet from the sun at the time of its discovery.

All planets orbit around the sun in our solar system. The sun is at the center of our solar system, and its gravitational pull keeps all the planets in orbit around it. The idea of all planets orbiting around the Earth was a historic belief known as the geocentric model, which has been proven incorrect by modern astronomy.

The Great Red Spot is an anticyclonic storm raging on the surface of Jupiter. It has been raging for hundreds of years.

The Great Dark Spot was a similar storm on Neptune. However is has now disappeared and smaller spots are regularly sighted in the atmosphere.

Yes. Like all the other planets in the solar system it revolves around the sun.

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 irregularities in the orbit of Uranus led scientists to hypothesize the presence of another planet whose gravity was affecting Uranus' orbit. Calculations based on those irregularities eventually led to the discovery of Neptune.

Astronomers now believe that Pluto's effect on Neptune's orbit is negligible and has no significant impact. Despite initial speculation, further studies have shown that Pluto's mass is too small to have a measurable effect on Neptune's orbit.

No, no human has landed on Neptune. It is billions of kilometers away from Earth and its extreme gaseous environment, intense gravity, and lack of a solid surface make human exploration or landing impossible at this time.

No.

Uranus is the 7th from the sun.

Neptune is the 8th from the sun.

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.

what the heck is doodey? last time i checked that wasn't a date or a time so please get it right.

Yes, Neptune's atmosphere is composed mostly of hydrogen, helium, and methane gases. The methane in the atmosphere absorbs red light, giving Neptune its cyan color. The concentration of methane in the atmosphere makes it toxic to humans.

it take Triton about 6 days to orbit Neptune

Strictly speaking you should say "mass" for this sort of question.

Anyway Neptune's mass is about 17 times the Earth's mass.

A little over 750 mph

I'm not exactly sure on your context, but Neptune will soon (in a couple years) be getting some good up close observations by several mapping satellites. If for some reason you feel that Neptune would loss it's title of "Planet" don't worry, it won't. Neptune is quite the planet, and no one can say otherwise, as for poor little Pluto, well icy dwarfs always did come in second place. Hope that answered your question.

It's takes about 5 Earth days and 21 hours for Triton to revolve around Neptune.
