clouds are blue, they are blue occasionally on a storm. Clouds are white for the most part, however they are usually grey when it rains and are occasionally blue and black when it rains out and occasionally white when it rains, but certain grey clouds known as altoculumus also are grey but don't produce rain; so technically it can't rain but you still see grey clouds sometimes black clouds don't produce rain or blue but this is rare, blue rain clouds are called culumus fractus, and culumus fractus produce rain. black clouds are called: Cumulonimbus during a storm and mostly produce lightning/thunder. Clouds can be seen as white because rain droplets form in the skies and with excessive drops form clouds, this has nothing to do with the suns light, the sun produces heat and doesn't form light, water droplets form light. Light has multiple colors involved, the colors are not that of the rainbow and also it's not white. White is a neutral party in rain storms, you will often see the sky turning grey, or occasionally blue/black. The sky is not made up of the rainbow rather, it's made up of a variety of colors, black, grey and white.
What are some rumors about Neptune?
Some rumors about Neptune include the possibility of diamond rain in its atmosphere, its mysterious dark spot resembling Jupiter's Great Red Spot, and its moon Triton possibly having a subsurface ocean with volcanic activity. Although these rumors are intriguing, they are based on scientific theories and observations rather than confirmed facts.
Not until we develop hundreds of years worth of technology.
Currently, man-made space shuttles are not designed for long-term space travel. At best, they are designed for orbiting our own planet and the moon.
To be able to visit Neptune, it would take years to develop a shuttle capable of travelling out that far. Then it will take a matter of more years to actually get to the planet since it is so far away.
There is also the issue of temperature. Neptune is absolutely freezing, currently, any human who gets close to Neptune would freeze in seconds. Electrical equipment such as surface exploration drones and landing space shuttles would freeze and malfunction.
So, with our current technology, no, astronauts cannot even get close to Neptune.
However, Neptune can be explored with orbital unmanned satellites.
Almost the same. A little bit younger due to time dilation. But the mass of a planet would have to be much larger to make a big difference
Why is Neptune Nicknamed The Last of the Gas Giant?
Neptune is the last planet in the solar system because pluto is too small to be a planet.
And also that there was a rumour about pluto being a moon of some planet but then the gravity to hold the planetoid was too weak so thats how pluto became a planet but its too small so now neptune is known as the last planet on the solar system
I hope this helps you :)

What is te distance from the sun for neptune?
Aphelion (Furthest) 4,553,946,490 km (2,829,691.160 miles) ~30.44 AU
Perihelion (Nearest) 4,452%2,940,833 km (2,766,929,150 miles) ~29.766 AU
Would a Human Being Face Neptune?
Neptune's "surface gravity" is a bit more than Earth's, but Neptune's gravity would not crush you.
If you went deep inside Neptune the pressure would probably crush you. That's not gravity crushing you directly, but the pressure.
This pressure is caused by the combination of gravity and the planet's resistance to being compressed by gravity. The pressure increases rapidly with depth.
What prompted the astronomers to look for neptune?
They discovered Neptune in 1846, by examining the orbits of the other gas giant planets, particulary Uranus. Its slight deviation in orbit was as a result of neptunes gravitational effect.
How many primary rings does Neptune have?
Neptune has 5 rings
* Adams Ring at 63000 km from the centre of Neptune
* Le Verrier Ring at 53000 km
* Galle Ring, at 42000 km.
* Arago
* Lassell - a faint outward extension of the Le Verrier Ring
Neptune is the 8th planet from the Sun and the outermost major planet in our solar system. Neptune is slightly smaller but more massive (dense) than Uranus.
Neptune is nicknamed the "Ocean Planet" because of its blue color, and no actual liquid water exists as there is on Earth. It is a gas and "ice" giant with a surface covered by crushingly dense clouds of hydrogen and helium. The outer layers are very cold: the temperature at Earth pressures are as low as -200°C (-328 °F). Near the core a water-methane mix exists at thousands of times Earth pressure, and a temperature of over 1000°C (1800°F). The winds in the atmosphere of Neptune can reach up to 1000 miles per hour (1600 kph).
One interesting speculation is that it may "rain diamonds" on Neptune, as methane breaks down into carbon and hydrogen under the heat and pressure near the core.
Neptune is named for the Roman god of the sea.
No, plants cannot grow on Neptune as it is a gas giant with extreme environmental conditions such as extremely cold temperatures, high atmospheric pressure, and the absence of solid ground for roots to anchor in the atmosphere. Plants require specific conditions like sunlight, water, and nutrients to grow, which are not present on Neptune.
What is the travel time from Uranus to Neptune?
It would depend on where each planet was in its orbit. At a minimum, the two planets are about 1,633,310,000 km apart, and a maximum of 7,375,300,000 km apart.
At 1,000 km/hr, then, the minimum time would be 1,633,310 hours or 183 years. I'll let you do the math on the maximum time.
Roughly.
What is the size comparison of Neptune and Mercury?
Neptune is larger.
They're the same! Titan comes from Greek mythology, and the Romans copied the Greek gods and changed the name. Neptune is the Roman version of Titan.
How hot is Neptune in its core?
It can't get hot.
Neptune is freezing cold, with an average temperature of ?218
Is it possibal for a human to land on Neptune?
No. Neptune is the windiest planet in the solar system. Winds tear through the clouds at more than 1,200 mph (2,000 kph). The winds blew Neptune's Great Dark Spot-- a storm as big as Earth-- across the planet at 700 mph (1,100 kph). That spot has since disappeared. A new one appeared on a different part of planet.
Planet Neptune has no surface because it is a gas giant. If you tried to land on the planet, you'd sink into it and be incinerated by the molten core.
It is also absolutely freezing, electronic equipment would freeze and malfunction. Considering it takes around 12 years to reach the planet from Earth, there is no chance of rescue.
Are there 100 year long storms or volcanoes on Jupiter planet?
no, storms systems on earth only last a few weeks at most. The energy involved is a lot less, the atmosphere a lot less dense (than Jupiter) and the terrain beneath the storm will vary. The storms on earth lose their energy when they travel over land.
What is the usual temp of Neptune?
the temperature is -373 Fahrenheit or -225 Celsius
the temp of Neptune is -355 degrees Fahrenheit and -215 degrees Celsius
Which roman god is Neptune named after?
The god is Neptune, king of the sea.
But Neptune is not greek. The god of the sea in greek mythology is Poseidon. But Neptune it actually a roman god :P
The Roman god Neptune is the same as the Greek god Poseidon, just with a different name.
But the planet Neptune is named after the Roman version, not the Greek.
Why do Neptune and Pluto cross paths?
About once every 248 years, Pluto moves nearer to the sun than Neptune, and stays that way for about 20 years. This last happened between January 1979 and February 1999 and so it won't happen again until about 2227.
What is the 5 interesting fact about neptune?
There are a variety of interesting facts about the planet Neptune. There are 14 moons of Neptune, and the surface temperature is about -201 degrees Celsius.
Is Neptune's core cold or warm?
Neptune is thirty times farther from the Sun than we are, and is so far away that the Sun just looks like a star, so as you can imagine the upper atmosphere is freezing cold - just -225 degrees Celsius! This is extremely cold.
However, inside Neptune it is hot - very hot - and reaches tens of thousands of degrees, hotter than the surface of the Sun! This immense difference between Neptune's bitterly cold upper atmosphere and seething hot core causes huge convection currents to flow through the planet, stirring its air and causing Neptune to have the fastest winds in the solar system.
Why is Uranus' gravity less than Neptune if Uranus is bigger?
Gravity(g) is a function of a planets mass(m) and how big it is or radius(r) squared
g=m/r2
The mass of Uranus is 14 times greater than Earth, but it's radius is 4 times greater than Earth.
So approximately 14/16 = 0.875
The gravity on Uranus is actually 0.886g whereas Earth is 0.99732.
It is not weaker than Earth's gravity, as for it has more mass.
Gravity does not have a size, smaller would be an incorrect term.
