Planet Neptune

The planet is named after the Roman god of the sea, as suggested by Le Verrier.

Neptune is the eighth planet
Most distant planet from the Sun.
It’s the fourth-largest, and the first planet discovered with math.

Ice giant Neptune is more than 30 times as far from the Sun as Earth.
Equatorial diameter = 49,528 kilometers, Neptune is about four times wider than Earth

It takes sunlight 4 hours to travel from the Sun to Neptune.

One day on Neptune takes about 16 hours.

Neptune has 16 known moons. Neptune's largest moon Triton was discovered on Oct. 10, 1846\

Triton is the only large moon in the solar system that circles its planet in a direction opposite to the planet's rotation (a retrograde orbit), which suggests that it may once have been an independent object that Neptune captured.

Neptune has at least five main rings and four prominent ring arcs

Neptune (and other planet Uranus) are two ice giants in the outer solar system.

Neptune is our solar system's windiest world. Despite its great distance and low energy input from the Sun, Neptune's winds can be three times stronger than Jupiter's and nine times stronger than Earth's.
