Neptune is the 8th and further planet from sun an it orbits about 30 astronomical units from the sun as average which means its 30 times further than the earth’s orbit from the sun. 30 Astronomical units in other words which is 4.5 billion kilometers and lets see 10 Facts of Neptune Planet.

Neptune Planet Facts
1- Neptune is the farthest plane from the sun is the eight planet
2- Smallest as the gas giants and only has a radius of 25,000 Kilometers
3- Similar gforce, The Surface gravity of Neptune is actually the planet with the closest surface gravity from earth and this surface gravity depends on mass and radius of the star and Neptune is so massive and its so bigger and it balances out and the surface gravity is same as 17% that of earths.
4- Neptune has high winds of about 2000 miles per hour winds.
5- Neptune is the coldest and it gets to -23 degree Celsius.
6- One year on Neptune is meaning that the time it takes to orbit the sun is 165 earth years is equal to 1 year on Neptune.
7- Length of a day is actually very different depending where you are on the planet because Neptune is a gas giant it doesn’t mean that every layer is rotating at the same speed, so if you are in equator a day is 18 hours. If your are on the pole the poles are spinning a lot faster so a pole day us 12 hours.
8- Blue color and this has to do with the abundance of methane in the atmosphere.
9- Diamond rains, the reason for getting diamond rains is lightening and the effect of lining and the amount of carbon found in methane can actually make diamond and they fall from the atmosphere to the surface of Neptune
10- Neptune is a planet with rings and Neptune have four rings and has a ring system.
