Neptune INformation Period of rotation/length of day of neptune is about 16 hours. Period of revolution/length of one year is about 165 Earth years Neptune is about 4.5 billion km away from the sun (orbital radius).
The surface of Neptune and Its layers Neptune's surface area is 2.941 billion miles squared. That is 3.9 times bigger than the Earth. Neptune is a gas giant, so the surface is not solid at all. When we look at a picture of neptune, we are seeing tops of very deep gas clouds. Below the gas layer, there is a layer of water and other melted ices about the size of the Earth. When you go deeper into the planet, it gets hotter, and there will be a solid core made of rock and ice. Neptune doesn't have a surface, so you would sink to the core. Neptune is one of the most-known gas and ice giants.
Moons of Neptune There are about 14 moons currently orbiting around neptune. The largest moon on Neptune is Triton and it is the largest moon to orbit a planet in our solar system backwards. Because Triton moves backward in its orbit, astronomers think the icy moon formed in the frozen Kuiper belt, located in the outer solar system. Neptune has both inner moons and outer moons within its rings where each moon orbits. Triton is also one of four moons in our solar system that has a atmosphere.
Scale Information If the sun was 10 km in diameter, Neptune would be about 0.35 km in diameter. 1,400,000 km = 49,244 km 10 km 140,000 km The sun would be 151,399,990 km from Neptune if the sun had a diameter of 10 km. 1,400,000-10 =1,399,990 km I 1,399,990+150 million= 151,399,990 km
Facts about Neptune Neptune is the fourth largest planet in our solar system. If you stood on Neptune, you would sink to the core. 6 Neptune is the Roman God of the Sea The climate on Neptune is extremely active Neptune has an average surface temperature of -214 C Neptune is the farthest planet in our solar system from the sun besides pluto.
Since Neptune rotates on its axis faster than Earth, its day is shorter. A day on Neptune is about 16 Earth hours. However, a year on Neptune is about 165 Earth years. This means that Neptune orbits the sun at a much slower rate than Earth.
Neptune has 14 moons. It s largest moon is Triton. Triton is the largest moon in the solar system to orbit clockwise, or retrograde. Neptune s orbital radius(or distance from the sun) is approximately 4,498,252,900 kilometers. However, it is always changing as Neptune s orbit is not a perfect circle. Image not to scale 4,498,252,900 kilometers
Just Neptune's mantle is 10 to 15 times Earth s mass! Neptune has 4 layers, similar to earth, but Neptune s layers are core, mantle, atmosphere, and upper atmosphere. Because Neptune is a gas giant, it does not have a surface that you can walk on like Earth does. Neptune s internal structure is very similar to Uranus.
As mentioned in the previous slide, Neptune does not have a surface you could walk on. Small amounts of water and methane cause the blue-green color. Neptune can have wind speeds of about 1,24o mph, the fastest in the Milky Way and 5 times the wind speed on earth. Seeing as Neptune is the farthest planet away from the sun, it is extremely cold with an average temperature of -210 C(-346 F). Similar to Jupiter, Neptune also has a huge storm on its surface.
What would the diameter of Neptune be if the Sun s diameter was 10 km? 1.Original Proportion By using cross multiplication, you can figure out that if the diameter of the Sun was 1o kilometers, then Neptune would have a diameter of about 0.35 km. 1.391016 million km 10 km = 0.049244 million km x 2. Cross multiply 1.391016x = 0.49244 3. Divide X = 0.35 km
How far away would Neptune be if the sun s diameter was 10km? 1. Original Proportion Using the same process as before just with different numbers, you can find that if the Sun s diameter was 10 km, then Neptune would be about 32,338 km away from the sun. 1.391016 million km 10 km = 4498.2529 million km x 2. Cross Multiply 1.391016x = 44982.529 3. Divide X= 32337.89 km
Fun facts Neptune is named for the Roman god of the sea Neptune has the second largest gravity of all the planets Triton was discovered just 17 days after Neptune was Neptune was discovered in 1846 Neptune has only completed one full orbit since its discovery Neptune s climate is extremely active and it has seasons just like Earth One season on Neptune can last for more than 40 years Neptune is the smallest of the Gas Giants
Pluto Distance from the sun: 5,906,376,272 km One day on pluto:6.4 Earth days or 153.3 hours long Pluto has 5 moons One year on pluto would take 248 earth years Pluto has 3 layers and an atmospher I
Scale Sun= 10km in diameter Pluto=Around.017 km in diameter If pluto was around.017 km in diameter It would be around 43000 km away from the sun
Surface features Almost all of Pluto surface is composed nitrogen ice

About Pluto Interesting Fact: Pluto was named after the Greek god of the underworld. On pluto, there are 5 moons. The biggest moon is called Charon. It is different from other moons by the Dwarf Planet because this moon is half the size of Pluto itself. The surface on Pluto is mainly covered with methane ice and nitrogen ice. There are also mountains as high as 3500 meters. Scientist believe that the mountains are formed by bedrock and ice.
Even more about Pluto ua Pluto day is a lot longer than any Earth day, A Pluto day is approximately 153 hours, or about 6.4 Earth days. Even crazier, one Pluto year is 248 Earth years. Pluto s atmosphere is mostly gases, consisting mostly of Nitrogen, and its surface is lots of frozen Nitrogen. The orbital radius is 5.9 billion km. Pluto is pretty dank, eh?
Scale: Size of Pluto: Diameter of around 0.017 Km If the Sun had a diameter of 10 kilometers then the diameter of Pluto would be about 0.017 km. If the sun had a diameter of 10 kilometers, then Pluto would be 42,142 kilometers away
