|
| Neptune
is the eighth planet from the Sun.
|
| It
weighs 113,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 tons and has
|
|
a
diameter of 30,775 miles.
|
|
One
day on Neptune is 16.1 hours long.
|
| The
average distance of Neptune from the Sun is 2,793.1
million miles.
|
|
|
| However,
at times Neptune is only 2,761,600,000 miles from the
Sun |
| while
at other times it is actually 2,824,500,000 miles from
the Sun.
|
| The
reason is that the orbit is not a perfect circle, but an
ellipse.
|
|
|
| Neptune
takes 59,800 days to orbit the Sun. That’s 164 years.
The
mean temperature on Neptune
is -330 degrees
fahrenheit.
