Neptune is the smallest planet of the 4 outer planets. its radius is 24,622 km and its diameter is 499,244 km.

Neptune is the most distant planet in the solar system…

Neptune’s surface gravity is almost earth like. there is 11.15m/s2 gravity on Neptune. but, on earth there is A LOT more (9.807 m/s2).

Neptune is the coldest planet with the strongest winds in the solar system.

Neptune is the coldest planet in the solar system. its atmosphere is -392 degrees F!

Neptune has rings. you can’t see these rings on this because they are extremely thin! they are made of dust and little chucks of space rocks.

thanks for reading about Neptune! hope you learned something.

Very interesting to read about Neptune. I would like to check some numbers that you gave about the size of Neptune. Diameter is the distance from one side of the circle or globe to the other, radius is the distance from the centre to the outside, circumference is the distance around the outside. This means that the radius is half the diameter and the circumference is more than three times bigger than the radius. Neptune sounds rather bleak.
