Planet Neptune

It was the name of the Roman god of the Sea. After Rome leaders were formed, Numa Pompilius started the Roman religion based on the Greek religion but with different names of the gods. Neptune was really Poseidon.

Neptune's winds are some of the fastest in the solar system, with speeds reaching up to 1,500 miles per hour (2,400 kilometers per hour). These powerful winds are driven by the planet's extreme weather and its distance from the Sun, causing turbulent atmospheric conditions.

Neptune is named after the Roman god of the sea, and Triton was one of the lesser gods under Neptune. Similarly, three of Jupiter's satellites are named after Jupiter's mistresses, and Phobos and Deimos were the sons of Mars (or Pluto and Charon back when Pluto was considered a planet, and Charon was its moon). Saturn's largest moon is named Titan because Saturn was king of the Titans.

Johann Gottfried Galle did not discover a planet himself. He was the astronomer who, in collaboration with Urbain Le Verrier, first observed the planet Neptune in 1846 based on Le Verrier's calculations.

Yes, Neptune does have a faint planetary ring system. The rings are made up of mostly dust particles and are not as prominent as Saturn's rings. They were first discovered in 1984 by the Voyager 2 spacecraft.

Yes, Neptune's atmosphere contains helium, along with other gases such as hydrogen and methane. Helium is present in trace amounts and plays a role in the overall composition and dynamics of Neptune's atmosphere.

Neptune's diameter is about 30775.2724 miles.

Yes, Neptune was accidentally discovered. In 1846, astronomers noticed small positional discrepancies in the orbit of Uranus, which led them to predict the existence of another planet influencing its orbit. Independently, both Urbain Le Verrier and John Couch Adams calculated the position of this new planet, leading to the discovery of Neptune.

It would still weigh 100lbs, though the gravity on Io would affect its apparent weight so you could lift it like was about an 18 lb weight on earth.

Pluto, Sedna, and Quaoar are all solid objects with icy surfaces and are small when compared to the planets of the solar system. Saturn is a giant planet primarily composed of hydrogen and helium. It does not have a solid surface.

King Neptune XIV

Neptune's lithosphere is a rigid outer layer of rock that encompasses its solid surface. It is composed of a mix of water ice, ammonia ice, and silicate rock. Due to the extreme cold temperatures and high pressure on Neptune, the lithosphere likely behaves more as a thick, slushy layer rather than a solid surface like those of terrestrial planets.

Neptune is a gas giant planet, so it doesn't actually have a solid surface that could

be covered in ice. On the other hand, it does have clouds, made of ice particles of methane and other materials.

Neptune's wife was Aphrodite (af roe dite ee)

Neptune is a gas giant composed mainly of hydrogen, helium, and methane. Since it has no solid surface, it doesn't have a taste or flavor.

A day on Neptune is 16 hours, 6 minutes and 36 seconds. A year on Neptune is 164.8 Earth years.

In Greek mythology, Neptune is the Roman counterpart of the Greek god Poseidon. Poseidon's trident was said to have been made by the Cyclops, one-eyed giants who were skilled blacksmiths. Poseidon used his trident as a symbol of his power over the seas and earthquakes.

Neptune was the last planet to be visited by the space probe called Voyager II. It was launched by NASA and the probed flew past the planet in 1989.

Yes, Pluto is closer to the Sun than Neptune for a ~20 year period every 228 years. The last time it was closer to the Sun than Neptune was 1979. This happens because Pluto has an eccentric orbit that is also highly inclined, Pluto's size\mass is not directly involved in this process in any way.

Neptune's year, or orbital period, is approximately 60,190 Earth days, which is equivalent to about 164.8 Earth years. This is due to Neptune's far distance from the Sun, resulting in a much longer orbital period compared to Earth's 365-day year.

Neptune is a gas giant composed mainly of hydrogen and helium, without a solid surface. It does have an atmosphere that includes water vapor, but it does not have a solid surface to be considered "wet" or "dry" like Earth.

No why would it have water and we not know about it?

Comment: Actually, scientists think there may be an ocean deep below the clouds of Neptune. The sort of ocean would be very different from one on Earth,

but it probably contains water amongst other chemicals.

they worshiped him because he was the god of the sea otherwise known as poseidon and he controlled the fishing seasons and he could wash out any city, so with all that power the ppl always worshiped a god so yeaaa

Right now human technology isn't advanced enough to get us there. We could send a rocket, but the astronauts would die before they got there. We are sending people to mars and that would take approximately 9 months (burning up most of the rocket fuel). Plus it wouldn't be a really good idea to land on neptune anyways because we would be crushed by its gravity.

Basically you cant.

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
