                                                                Neptune



Hello everyone, today we are going to talk about Neptune. First, we should talk about how Neptune was discovered. Can you believe that,
unlike the other planets Neptune was found using math. Neptune  got its name after the Roman god of the sea, I can see why, because the whole planet looks like it has water on it.


















Let's compare and contrast Neptune to the other gas giant planets. One similarity is
 all the planets are not

 solid only their core is. Neptune is slightly smaller than the other gas giant but also Neptune and the other gas giants all have rings. Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you this, Neptune is the 8th planet from the sun, and also that some times Pluto is closer to the Sun because of its strange orbit.





Great Dark Spot
Do you know that Voyager 2 found a storm on Neptune ,in 1989 ,called 'The Great Dark Spot' ? The great dark spot was the  gigantic storm with the size of the earth. But later  the Great Dark Spot',  became small.  The Small Dark Spot is similar to The Great Dark Spot except it is just a little smaller.
 Now we can talk about the Scooter, don't think , the  scooter  I am going to talk about is the  scooter you ride on. The Scooter is a large storm that went around Neptune every 16 hours.


 




There is no way you could Survive in Neptune because there is no water to drink or no oxygen to breath. Neptune has 13 moons and it's biggest moon Triton is really cold , because ,it orbits the opposite direction of Neptune. But something really sad is that ,Triton will soon be torn apart. Well guys I have to go so bye.
