Download Neptune Report - Darran Park Wiki Space

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!
