Transcript
Neptune is one of the eight planets in our Solar System. All these planets have one thing in common, they all orbit the sun. As far as we know there is no record of life on Neptune. The Planet:Neptune is the fourth biggest planet in our Solar System, about 60 earths can fit into Neptune. The diameter of Neptune is 49,528km.One day on Neptune is the same as 16 hours on earth. The Weather:Neptune has a giant storm much like the storm on Jupiter. This storm is often called The Great Dark Spot. We don’t know how long this storm has been active, because it is so far away that we could not get a good enough view. The fastest winds in the solar system roar around Neptune at up 2,092km. Does Neptune have moons?:Neptune has 13 moons that we know of. Because Neptune is so far away it is difficult to see these worlds. There are probably more moons orbiting this planet which have yet not have been discovered. The biggest moon is Triton. Features:The colour of Neptune is blue because of the methane gas in the planets atmosphere. The new planet was named after the roman god of sea. Scientists hope that in the future they will be able to learn more about this blue planet by sending more advanced satellites to Neptune. Who knows what they will find in the future! By Charlotte
