Neptune Shaniya Malcolm General Science
2
Surface Of Neptune The Space Shuttle/ Voyager 2 Composition Winds When Discovered Facts Symbols Interior Moon’s /Rings Who Discovered?
3
Made Up of 85%Hydrogen,13% Helium, and 2%Methane Not Solid Dynamic The large dark spots are caused by the different Temperatures between the Heat, and clouds
4
Metal Core Clouds Various ice/rocks Very Cold 1.8 Billion Miles From the Sun
5
Winds are at 2000 kilometers (1200 miles) per hour Fastest In Solar System It’s winds push the frozen clouds of natural gas past the north edge of the planet's Earth-size
6
Found September,23,1846 It was Uranus’s slight deviation to it’s orbit which, was resulted in Neptune's gravitational effect.
7
Neptune was formed around 4.5 billion years ago formed from the primordial solar nebula fourth largest planet A large cloud of Gas, and dust which Was made when the solar And planets formed
8
Trident Three- Pronged Fork
9
In 1612, and 1613 Galileo o thought that Neptune was a fixed star during observations with his telescope. Orbits around the sun once every 165 years
10
Greek God Of the Sea, horses, and earthquakes Eight Planet From The Sun High heat inside Neptune causes convection currents Neptune is the Farthest from the sun.
11
Neptune’s moon, Triton has the coldest temperatures Since its discovery in 1846, Neptune has completed one full orbit around the sun Neptune's atmosphere extends in great depths, gradually merging into water
12
Flew By Neptune In 1989 It was launched to explore the planets outer solar system The only spacecraft to Visit Neptune
13
Neptune has its own heat source Emits a quantity of energy 2.7 times greater than it receives Has 8 known moons High heat inside Neptune causes convection currents
14
composed Of Rock And Ice Mantle Is Rich In Water, Methane, And Ammonia The mantle Is where Neptune Holds its water It’s too far from the sun for water to exist on the surface
15
13 moons Largest Triton Triton was first discovered by William Lassell Rings, Much Fainter Than Any Other Planet Names: Galle, LeVerrier, Lassell, Arago, and Adams
16
English mathematician, and Astronomer, John Couch Adams Predicted The Existence, and Position of Neptune French mathematician, and Astronomer, Urbain Le Verrier Predicted other half of Neptune by doing calculations John Couch Adam Urbain Le Verrier
