THE SOLAR SYSTEM WEB QUEST
* 2 billion, 794
million miles from the sun * at least 8
moons * almost the
same size as Uranus Neptune is a
large blue-green ball of gas with a center of rock
and iron. The planet is covered with clouds.
Neptune is sometimes covered with dense fog and
sometimes it is very clear with no fog, this
puzzles scientists. Neptune has faint rings.
Because Neptune is so far from the sun it is very,
very cold. Neptune has high
winds and many storms. Sometimes these storms show
up as dark spots. A year on
Neptune is 165 Earth-years long. One day is about
16 Earth-hours long.
