Planet Neptune

Yes, Neptune spins on its axis much faster than Earth. Neptune has a rotational period of about 16 hours, while Earth's rotational period is about 24 hours. This rapid spin on Neptune contributes to its strong and dynamic weather systems.

The distance between neptune and the sun is 15.0935 astronomical units (AU).

The length of a day, or sidereal period, on Neptune is 16 hours 6 min 13 seconds (0.6713 days)

Because Neptune is not a solid body, its atmosphere undergoes differential rotation. The wide equatorial zone rotates at a period of about 18 hours, at the polar regions the rotation period is about 12 hours.

The gas giant, Neptune, is considerably larger than the Earth, having about 3.9 times the surface area of the Earth.

Neptune-49,620 km

Earth-12,756 km

its not the farthers planet.. whoever thought it was is stupid :) haha

No. Neptune has an atmosphere made mostly of hydrogen and helium. While this atmosphere would cause asphyxiation, a person would not choke. Regardless, Neptune is so cold than a person would freeze to death before they could asphyxiate.

well first Triton is so close to neptune that neptunes gravity is pulling it closer and eventually Triton will explode and become a bright ring. And it is the only moon in the solar system that circles in a direction opposite to the planets rotation. The reason for nerieds erratic orbit is tritons backwards orbit. It disrupts many of the moons also

Neptune has a day and night cycle as does all the planets. Neptune's day and night are shorter than Earth's because it takes Neptune only 16 hours to complete a rotation.

Many asteroids have an eccentric orbit, that is, the orbit's ellipse is very stretched. Pluto is just one of many planetoids with this characteristic.

Neptune has a greater mass than Earth does.

Saturn takes 10,832 Earth days (29.66 Earth years) to go around the Sun once.

Since one day on Saturn is 10.656 hours long, it takes 24,396 Saturnian days for Saturn to go around the sun once.

Actually, yes it does. Pluto, because of its lopsided orbit, crosses paths and goes in front of Neptune once every 288 years. It probably is once every 288 years because Pluto orbits the Sun once after 248 years.

Neptune was named after the Roman god of the sea. The name was proposed by the astronomer Urbain Le Verrier, who believed it was fitting due to the planet's blue color, which is associated with the sea.

Neptune rotates on its axis in a retrograde direction, which means it spins in the opposite direction to most other planets in our solar system. This unique rotation is thought to have been caused by a collision with another large celestial object in the past.

No. This would not be possible as Neptune is made up of gas and does not have an actual surface.

Other than its distinct vivid color. I think that the Great Dark Spot on the planet is very fascinating, it has the fastest winds in the solar system. Neptune has the coldest temperature in the solar system. It definitely deserves to be named after Poseidon, God of the Seas.

Neptune is about 30 times farther away from the sun than Earth is.

Not elemental oxygen. The interior of Neptune likely contains water ice.

Yes, Neptune does in fact have vertical rings. There are actually six vertical rings surrounding Neptune and they are of different sizes.

The temperature on Neptune is cold, windy, and stormy. The temperature is about -230 degrees Celsius. But the winds will get strong at the Great Dark Spot, and the temperature will get really cold. But on the Equator, it will be more warmer, and it will not be as stormy as it is in the Great Dark Spot.

No, humans cannot survive on Uranus or Neptune. Both planets lack a solid surface and have extreme conditions, including extremely cold temperatures, high levels of atmospheric pressure, and toxic atmospheres mainly composed of hydrogen, helium, and methane.

The average distance from the Sun to Neptune is about 30 AU. That's 30 times the distance from Sun to Earth. This means that the amount of solar energy Neptune gets, per square meter, is 1/900 (1 divided by 30 squared) that of Earth.

No, scientists do not believe that people could live there. There are many reasons why Neptune is inhospitable to human life such as the immense crushing gravity, the lack of solid surface, and the toxic, freezing atmosphere.

About 165 Earth years.

Neptune is a gas giant with no solid surface, and its atmosphere is composed mainly of hydrogen, helium, and methane. The extreme cold temperatures and lack of water vapor in Neptune's atmosphere make it unlikely to have humidity as we experience on Earth.
