Neptune's mass of 1.0243 × 10 26 kg [8] is intermediate between Earth and the larger gas giants: it is 17 times that of Earth but just 1/19th that of Jupiter. [g] Its gravity at 1 bar is 11.15 m/s 2, 1.14 times the surface gravity of Earth, [71] and surpassed only by Jupiter. [72] Neptune's equatorial radius of 24,764 km [11] is nearly four ...
Dark spot on Neptune full color (left) and blue light (right) in a 2016 photo.

The persistence of companion clouds shows that some former ...
Pluto and Neptune's minimum separation is over 17 AU, which is greater than Pluto's minimum separation from Uranus (11 AU). [93] The minimum separation between Pluto and Neptune actually occurs near the time of Pluto's aphelion.
