2. In Depth | Neptune – NASA Solar System Exploration

   solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets/neptune/in-depth.amp

   Dark, cold, and whipped by supersonic winds, ice giant Neptune is the eighth and most distant planet in our solar system. More than 30 times as far from the Sun as Earth, Neptune is the only planet in our solar system not visible to the naked eye.

3. 10 Need-to-Know Things About Neptune - NASA Solar System...

   solarsystem.nasa.gov/module/94

   Neptune orbits our Sun, a star, and is the eighth planet from the Sun at a distance of about 2.8 billion miles (4.5 billion kilometers).

4. Neptune By the Numbers – NASA Solar System Exploration

   solarsystem.nasa.gov/neptune-by-the-numbers

   Neptune is the eighth and most distant planet from the Sun. It’s the fourth largest, and the first planet discovered with math.

5. Neptune - NASA Solar System Exploration

   solarsystem.nasa.gov/module/83

   NASA’s real-time science encyclopedia of deep space exploration. Our scientists and far-ranging robots explore the wild frontiers of our solar system.

6. Neptune By the Numbers – NASA Solar System Exploration

   solarsystem.nasa.gov/neptune-by-the-numbers/?intent=121

   Neptune is the eighth and most distant planet from the Sun. It’s the fourth largest, and the first planet discovered with math.

7. Why Uranus and Neptune Are Different Colors - NASA Solar System...

   solarsystem.nasa.gov/news/2232/why-uranus-and-neptune-are-different-colors.amp

   Neptune and Uranus have much in common — they have similar masses, sizes, and atmospheric compositions — yet their appearances are notably different. At visible wavelengths Neptune has a distinctly bluer color whereas Uranus is a pale shade of cyan.

8. In Depth | Triton – NASA Solar System Exploration

   solarsystem.nasa.gov/moons/neptune-moons/triton/in-depth.amp

   Triton is the largest of Neptune's 13 moons. It is unusual because it is the only large moon in our solar system that orbits in the opposite direction of its planet's rotation―a retrograde orbit. Scientists think Triton is a Kuiper Belt Object captured by Neptune's gravity millions of years ago.

9. In Depth | Our Solar System – NASA Solar System Exploration

   solarsystem.nasa.gov/solar-system/our-solar-system/in-depth.amp

   Our solar system consists of our star, the Sun, and everything bound to it by gravity – the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune; dwarf planets such as Pluto; dozens of moons; and millions of asteroids, comets, and meteoroids.

10. In Depth | Moons – NASA Solar System Exploration

    solarsystem.nasa.gov/moons/in-depth.amp

    In the outer solar system, the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn and the ice giants Uranus and Neptune have dozens of moons. As these planets grew in the early solar system, they were able to capture smaller objects with their large gravitational fields.

11. Jupiter By the Numbers – NASA Solar System Exploration

    solarsystem.nasa.gov/jupiter-by-the-numbers

    Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun, and the largest in the solar system – more than twice as massive as the other planets combined.
