Asking and answering questions about the solar system Researching information about the planets what they look like, where they’re located, the weather/living conditions Cause and effect
Mission to Neptune You better pack for a long trip when you trek to Neptune, the last of our solar system’s planets. It’s so far away that it’s the only planet you can’t see from Earth with the naked eye. How did astronomers discover a planet they couldn’t even see? Through math! They noticed that Uranus, Neptune’s nearest planetary neighbor, traveled in a way that suggested the gravitational pull of an eighth planet. Neptune was first seen through a telescope in 1846. You won’t need sunglasses for this voyage. 12 noon on Neptune is no brighter than the last few moments of sunset on Earth. Not that you could stand on Neptune at noon. Neptune is a gas giant - a big ball of gas surrounding a core of hot liquids. And like fellow “ice giant” Uranus, Neptune’s atmosphere is composed mostly of water, ammonia, and methane. It’s the methane that gives Neptune its striking blue color. You’ll want to keep your ship soaring high in the planet’s atmosphere because it is home to the windiest weather in the solar system. Clouds of frozen methane whoosh as fast as a fighter jet through storms that are the size of Earth!
