Missions
• How long are its years and days?
• A year on Neptune lasts for 165 Earth years.
• A day on Neptune is shorter than a day on Earth.
• This gas planet spins, or rotates, once every 16 hours.

Motion
• orbit: 4,504,000,000 km (30.06 AU) from Sun.
• Neptune is the eight planet from the sun.• Neptune orbits slowly because it is farther
away from the sun.• Size, color Neptune seems to be a twin to
Uranus.• Neptune does not spin on its side; its axis
tilts only a little more than that of Earth.

other
• The rings of Neptune are made up of fairly small, very dark clumps of rock.
• Scientists think that most of these clumps are about the size of a small car.
• There is also a large amount of dust in the rings. one of the rings has a twist in it.
• Uranus orbit didn't seem to obey the laws of physics.
• Something was making Uranus move unexpected.
