  1. Neptune Eric Otto

  2. Neptune’s Symbol

  3. Roman god of seas • Poseidon • Color • Not used god Neptune’s Name

  4. Johann Gottfried Galle • Urbain Le Verrier • Heinrich Lois d’ Arrest • John Couch Adams • Uranus’s orbit • Telescope • Triton The Discovery of Neptune

  5. Order: 8th • D. from Sun: approx. 4,460,000,000-4,540,000,000 • D. from Earth: approx. 430,000,000,000 Relative Location

  6. Mass: about 17.2 times Earth’s size (102.4E24 kg) • Volume: approx. 62,525,703,987,421 km³ • Density: 1,638 kg • Sink: no, composition too heavy • Gravity: about 1.12 times Earth’s Measurements/data

  7. Orbit: 165 Earth years • Rotation: about 19.1 Earth hours Orbit/Rotation

  8. 1% Methane other • 80% hydrogen, 19% helium • Thick Atmosphere

  9. Average 73 K (-328) • Tilted more than Earth (30) • Over 390 degrees colder than Florida • Extreme seasons Temperature

  10. Gas giant • Windy and cold • Mantle of ammonia and methane ices • Core iron and magnesium • Size of Uranus • Dark blue • Dark storms can appear Neptune’s appearance

  11. Similar to most gas giants • Dark spots can form (storms) • Similar to Jupiter’s red spots • Scooter • Goes around the planet Neptune’s Weather

  12. Four rings • Inferred that rings are young and short lived • Disappearing rapidly • Dark • Found in 1989 Neptune’s Rings

  13. 14 moons • Triton- largest and has ice on it, with a thick atmosphere, in retrograde: 1846 • Nereid- third largest, distance from Neptune varies from 1,353,600 to 9,623,700 km: 1949 • Naiad- smallest named moon, closest to Neptune: 1989 • Thalassa- second closest to Neptune irregularly shaped: 1989 • Despina- small moon near Neptune: 1989 • Galatea- small moon that is close to Neptune: 1989 • Larissa- non-spherical moon that is heavily cratered: 1989 • Proteus- second largest moon that is dark and close to Neptune (irregular): 1989 • Halimede- retrograde: rumored to be part of Nereid: 2002 • Psamathe- takes 25 years to orbit, retrograde: 2003 • Sao-Kozai resonance, inclination of orbit decreases, eccentricity increases, vice versa: 2002 • Laoredeia- one of the small moons of Neptune: 2002 • Neso- 48,000,000 km away, farthest moon in SS, 26.67 revolution: 2002 • S/2004 N1 (unnamed) unnamed, smallest satellite: 2004 The moons of Neptune

  14. All water present is ice • Mostly in gas and rings Water

  15. Freeze instantly • Too much pressure • Winds would smash you against objects • Gas giant- no true ground except core/ fall to death A visit to Neptune

  16. Winds can reach 2,000 km, making it fastest winds in solar system • Causes storms (dark spots) • Dissipates in a few years Special facts
