Why was Pluto closer to the sun then Neptune?
Pluto's orbit is more elliptical than Neptune's and at times it can come closer to the sun than Neptune. However, overall, Neptune is much closer to the sun in its average distance from the sun compared to Pluto.
What planets are similar to Neptune?
Uranus is pretty similar to Neptune. They are both ice giants, are roughly the same size, occupy the outer solar system (they are notionally next to each other in 'order') and have significant chemical composition similarities.
Can you send a human to Neptune?
Considering that no human has been to Mars, so far, it seems a bit premature to talk about sending someone to the far more distant planet Neptune. However, the technology of space travel does exist (as proved by the 1969 moon landing) and if we were willing to spend the very large amount of money needed to build an interplanetary spaceship and to launch the mission, it is possible for a human to travel to Neptune. I will add that Neptune itself is not the kind of planet on which a human could land - it is a gas giant, made mostly of gas - but the moons of Neptune would be interesting to visit.
Will Jason and piper kiss in the son of Neptune?

What can scientists learn from mummies today?
Scientists can learn about ancient civilizations, including their daily lives, health status, and burial practices, by studying mummies. They can analyze DNA to understand genetic relationships, study diet and diseases through bone and tissue analysis, and gain insight into ancient technologies such as embalming methods. Mummies provide a unique window into the past, offering valuable information about human history and evolution.
What will eventually happen to Triton?
Triton will pass within Neptune's Roche Limit. This will result in either a collision with Neptune's atmosphere or the breakup of Triton, forming a ring system similar to that found around Saturn.
What far away blue-green planet named after the god of the sea?
Neptune is the far away blue-green planet named after the god of the sea in Roman mythology.
How many kilometers bigger is Uranus than Neptune?
Neptune's diameter is 49,528 kilometers, while Mercury's is 3,473 kilometers. Neptune's diameter is 14 times the size of Mercury's.
Does Neptune have an elliptical orbit?
Neptune has an elliptical orbit path around the Sun with 1.770 inclination as compared to earth . It has eccentricity of 0.011214269 between the prihelion (nearest) 4452940833 km and aphelion (most )4553946490 km distance away from the Sun with variations by 101 million km in during its orbital path of 60190 days/164.79 years.
How was Neptune's Great dark spot''discovered?
nasa's voyager two found a great storm and named it the great black spot but later it had vanished
What is Neptune's weather temperature?
Neptune has extremely cold weather with temperatures reaching as low as -346 degrees Fahrenheit (-210 degrees Celsius). This makes it one of the coldest places in our solar system despite being the farthest planet from the Sun.
What is Neptune's day and night average temperature?
Neptune's average temperature is about -353 degrees Fahrenheit (-214 degrees Celsius) during the day and night due to its distance from the Sun and its composition, primarily of hydrogen and helium.
What is the planet Neptune's connection to mythology?
Neptune is the Roman god of the sea, equivalent to the Greek god Poseidon. The planet Neptune is named after this god due to its striking blue color resembling the oceans on Earth. Its moons are also named after various sea creatures and mythological figures associated with the sea.
How long would it take ultraviolet waves from the sun to reach Neptune?
That rather depends on where Neptune is in it's orbit. Neptune orbits the Sun at an average distance of 4.5 billion km. Let's use this average distance as our basis.
The speed at which light propagates through a vacuum is 299,792,458 meters per second. Let's state that in terms of kilometers per second. 299,792.458 km per second.
4,500,000,000 km can be chopped up into 299,792.25 km chunks... let's see... a total of 15,010 times. Each of those chunks represents one second of travel.
That is 15,010 seconds for light to get from the sun to Neptune. That's about 4 hours and 10 minutes. Quite a long drive if you ask me!
How many basketball courts can fit on Neptune?
Neptune is a gas giant without a solid surface, so it is impossible to have any basketball courts on it.
Neptune is a gas giant without a solid surface, so it doesn't have hills in the traditional sense like those found on rocky planets like Earth. The planet's atmosphere is primarily composed of hydrogen, helium, and methane, with no distinct features like hills or mountains.
How much moons does planet Neptune have?
Neptune has fourteen known moons as of the year 2013, five of those fourteen having been discovered in 2002, 2003 and 2013.
Here's a list of all known moons, in order of increasing orbital radius from Neptune:
Neptune has 14 moons that have been discovered so far. The largest is Triton and the smallest named moon is Psamathe.
How long does it take for a space ship to travel to Neptune?
The amount of time it takes for a space ship to travel toNeptune depends on where it is starting from, how much fuel it carries, how much acceleration can be applied and for how long, and what ath of travel (orbit) is followed.
Neptune is a gas giant and does not have a solid surface like Earth where trees could grow. Its atmosphere is primarily composed of hydrogen, helium, and methane. Therefore, there are no trees or plant life on Neptune.
What planet had a great dark spot that disappeared in 1994?
The planet with a great dark spot that disappeared in 1994 was Neptune. The dark spot was a massive storm system in Neptune's atmosphere, similar to Jupiter's Great Red Spot. It was first observed by the Voyager 2 spacecraft in 1989 and had completely disappeared by 1994.
What is colder Neptune or mercury?
