2. Neptune is one of the outer planets, far past the asteroid belt.

3. Neptune is also the farthest planet from the Sun, which means it is very cold. Neptune’ s neighbors are Uranus and the dwarf planet Pluto.

4. Neptune’s diameter is 30,776 miles wide. The planet’s radius is 15,388 miles. Neptune is called a Gas Giant because it is made of gas and is one of the larger planets. The four Gas Giants How BIG is the Gas Giant Neptune?

5. Neptune is so large that 60 (sixty) planets the size of Earth could fit inside.

6. Neptune The revolution is 165 Earth years. The rotation is 16hours, 7minutes. Earth The revolution is 365 days long. Earth’s rotation is 24 hours long.

7. Neptune’s axis tilt is 28.32degrees.

8. Neptune Neptune has 13 (thirteen) moons. No one has landed or walked on Neptune’s moons. Earth Earth has 1 (one) moon. People have landed and walked on Earth’s moon.

9. Some of the names of Neptune’s moons are Triton, Naiad, Thalassa, Despina, Gatatea, Larissa, Proteus, and Nereid. Neptune’s largest moon is Triton and Neptune’s smallest moon is Naiad is the smallest moon. Naiad is 36 (thirty-six) miles wide. Triton is 1,678 miles wide.

10. I chose Neptune because Neptune is the farthest planet from the Sun not counting dwarf planets. Another reason I chose Neptune is, that the planet was named after the roman God Neptune. The most surprising thing I learned was that the rotation only takes 16hours, 7minutes. I would love to learn more about Neptune.
