How far is the planet Pluto away from the sun in miles?
Pluto is, on average 3,607,000,000 miles from earth, which is 3699955887 miles from the sun. These are averages, not exact numbers as the planets shift in their orbits, especially Pluto's.
What is the magnitude of Neptune?
According to NASA's figures, the mass of Neptune is 102,440,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg or 102.4 quadrillion kg, or if you want the scientific notation 1.0244 x 1026 kg. This makes Neptune around 17 times the mass of the Earth.
What was the first used to discover Neptune?
Neptune was discovered using mathematics and predictions based on observed irregularities in the orbit of Uranus. French mathematician Urbain Le Verrier and English mathematician John Couch Adams independently calculated the position of Neptune in 1846. Once astronomers confirmed the existence of Neptune based on these predictions, the planet was officially discovered.

No, and he never will. Neptune is a gas giant. Which means it does not have a solid surface. If you tried to stand on Neptune, you would sink into the planet and be incinerated by the molten core.
That's, of course, if you don't get shredded to pieces by the 2,000+ MPH stormy winds, which contains rock, debris and ice.
Is there an obvious point where the atmosphere ends and the surface begins on a gas giant?
Gas giants like Jupiter do not have a solid surface, so there is no clear boundary where the atmosphere ends and the surface begins. Instead, the gas giant's atmosphere becomes progressively denser as you move towards its core, gradually transitioning from gas to liquid under high pressures.
What are the dark spots on Neptune?
The dark spots on Neptune are large storms in its atmosphere, similar to hurricanes on Earth. These storms can be thousands of kilometers in size and are believed to be caused by complex interactions between different layers of the planet's atmosphere.
If you weighed 100 lbs how much would you weigh on neptune?
You would definitely weigh more, but the problem with the question is that we do not know the diameter of that part of Neptune that you can stand on.
When we talk about the measured diameters of the four giant planets, we mean the diameter measured across the tops of the clouds. It's assumed that there is a rocky core underneath but the size of it is unknown.
The usual answer given is about 112 pounds or 117 pounds, but it does indeed depend on the exact way the calculation is done.
What is mythology about Neptune?
Some fun facts about Neptune:
Hope that helps.
Can Neptune be seen without a telescope?
Yes, but it has to be a pretty good telescope, and you have to know just where to look. Neptune will look like a fairly faint star, you wouldn't know it was a planet unless you waited for days and observed it moving.
How many years old is Neptune?
i think you will not live until you reach the planet Neptune because you will be dead if you will reach. it imagine walking on a very long kilometer, you yourself do not want to walk in all at least just 2 kilometers. am i not right?
What are Neptune's living Organisms?
There are no inhabitants on Neptune. The planet is too gaseous, cold, and windy to support any sort of life.Also, there is very little amount of light and heat due to the long distance between the sun and Neptune.Due to this there can be no atmosphere or plant life.
Does Venus have any ability to support life?
No.
Neptune is a gas giant, it is composed entirely of gas.
Gas giants do not have any solid surfaces or plate activity. Therefore it is impossible for surface features such as mountains to form.
What is the distance of Neptune to it's moon Triton?
The average distance between Neptune and its largest moon, Triton, is about 354,800 kilometers. Triton is the seventh-largest moon in the Solar System and is known for its retrograde orbit around Neptune.
What is the orbital period in earth years and shape of orbit of Neptune?
164.79132 years. 163.7 Earth years. It is hard to be precise would be about 60,148 days, which is 164 years and about 9 and a half months.
Neptune takes 164.79 earth years to orbit once around our sun.
Did scientists ever find lightning storms on Neptune?
On all planets containing gas, there will be some movement in their atmosphere.
The atmosphere on Neptune some times moves at near supersonic speeds.
I should think this qualifies for being a most powerfull storm.
How true is it that the sun will not set for 2 days on the 17th of December?
It is not true that the sun will not set for 2 days on the 17th of December. The length of daylight varies depending on the location and time of year, but the sun does set every day. This phenomenon might be a result of misinformation or a misunderstanding of how the sun moves across the sky.
How long does it take to travel to Neptune by Car?
Here is an estimate to your answer. Suppose that you travel straight towards Neptune at 80mph. You never stop for gas. It would take 3,852.7 years (approximately). The time would change depending on the speed you are going.
Let's say that you drove 120mph, which is pretty fast. Then it would take:
2,700,000,000miles/120mph= 22,500,000 hours
22,500,000 / 24 hours = 937,500 days
937,500 days / 365 = 2,568.5 years.
To travel from the sun to the earth it would take 88.5 years going at 120mph.
Space probes travel extremely fast through space (more than 20,000 mph I think), so that is why it is possible to reach Neptune in 9-15 years.
New Horizons space probe was sent out in 2006 and will only take 9.5 years to pass Pluto (2015). Check this out:
New Horizons will passes the orbit of Uranus on March 18, 2011.
Neptune: August 24, 2014

The planets ordered from coldest to hottest?
"Uranus -224c,Neptune -218c,Saturn -175c,Jupiter -145c,Earth 7.2,Mars 30c,Venus 460c,Mercury 465c." This is actually incorrect. Mercury is not hotter than Venus. Yes Mercury is closer to the sun than Venus. However, Venus has a thicker atmosphere than Mercury.
Where was the planet Neptune born or discovered?
Discovered on September 23, 1846, by John Couch Adams. Neptune was the first planet found by mathematical prediction rather than by observation. Unexpected changes in the orbit of Uranus led astronomers to deduce that its orbit was subject to gravitational perturbation by an unknown planet. Neptune was subsequently found within a degree of its predicted position.
Adams worked on his calculations at Cambridge and his home in Cornwall UK. Neptune was discovered on September 23, 1846 by Johann Gottfried Galle, of the Berlin Observatory, and Louis d'Arrest, an astronomy student, through mathematical predictions made by Urbain Jean Joseph Le Verrier
Could you live on the planet Neptune?
There are a number of reasons that we couldn't live on Neptune. First, Neptune is what is called a gas giant (or ice giant, if you prefer). The tiny core of solid material is many miles deep in the atmosphere. The pressure there would crush us; it's millions of times that on the surface of the earth. Also, the atmosphere is primarily hydrogen, helium, methane, ammonia and water. That's not something we can breathe. Neptune is the "windiest" planet we know of with air movement of over 2000 kilometers per hour in some places. In the clouds, it's below -200 °C, and on the tiny rocky core, it's over 5,000 °C. Neither of those extremes is "comfortable" by any stretch. A link can be found below for more information.
How much more gravity is there on Neptune than there is on Earth?
The 'surface' acceleration of gravity on Neptune is 11.15 m/s2 .
That's about 14% greater than on the Earth's surface.
If you weigh 200 pounds on Earth, then at the depth in Neptune's gaseous mantle
where the pressure is equal to Earth's sea-level atmospheric pressure, you'd weigh
about 228 pounds.
What are the planets hottest to coldest?
The hottest planet is Venus. Then Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, then if it was still a planet, Pluto.
(Uranus has been proven to be colder than Neptune, despite Neptune being further from the sun).
