what is the atmosphere neptune?

Atmosphere. Neptune's atmosphere is made up mostly of hydrogen and helium with just a little bit of methane. Neptune's neighbor Uranus is a blue-green color due to such atmospheric methane, but Neptune is a more vivid, brighter blue, so there must be an unknown component that causes the more intense color.

Great Red Spot. Jupiter's entire visible surface is covered by clouds, many of which are composed of ammonia gas. These clouds are stretched into stripes by strong winds in the planet's atmosphere.

The atmospheric characteristics of rocky and gas planets differ. ... The terrestrial planets in the solar system have atmospheres made up mostly of gases such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen and oxygen. The gas giants, on the other hand, consist mainly of lighter gases like hydrogen and helium.

An atmosphere is the layers of gases surrounding a planet or other celestial body. ... These gases are found in layers (troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere) defined by unique features such as temperature and pressure.

The atmosphere is a thin layer of gases that surrounds the Earth. It seals the planet and protects us from the vacuum of space. It protects us from electromagnetic radiation given off by the Sun and small objects flying through space such as meteoroids.

Pluto has a thin, tenuous atmosphere that expands when it comes closer to the sun and collapses as it moves farther away—similar to a comet. The main constituent is molecular nitrogen, though molecules of methane and carbon monoxide have also been detected.

Atmosphere. Uranus' atmosphere is mostly hydrogen and helium, with a small amount of methane and traces of water and ammonia.

Methane serves to trap the heat entering Neptune's atmosphere, and keep it there. The composition of both atmospheres are nearly identical, but since hydrogen and helium have no greenhouse properties (on their own), the heat trapped in Neptune's atmosphere by the methane keeps it just a little warmer than Uranus.

Neptune's layers. As everyone's know all the planets have 4 layers. Neptune has 4 layers named core, mantle, atmosphere, and upper atmosphere.

Neptune is 2,794.4 million miles away from the sun. Thus the distance between Uranus and Neptune= distance of Neptune from Sun- distance of Uranus from the Sun. (2794.4- 1784.0)million miles = 1010.4 million miles. HOPE IT HELPED!!

All four giant planets in our solar system - Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune - have very thick, deep atmospheres. The smaller, rocky planets - Earth, Venus and Mars - have much thinner atmospheres hovering above their solid surfaces. A few moons also have atmospheres, though most of them are quite thin.

Uranus and Neptune have abounding similarities! Consistanly , Neptune and Uranus both are a shade of blue- green colored planets. They both have gas in there cloudy atmosphere which creates the color of the planets. They both have a weird and off centered magnetic field which gives them strength.

Neptune's winds travel at more than 1,500 mph, and are the fastest planetary winds in the solar system. Neptune is much too faint to be seen with the unaided eye, but right now you can see the blue planet shine just by using binoculars.

Pluto is composed of a large rocky core wrapped in thick layers of ices. Its icy surface and extremely thin atmosphere are predominantly composed of nitrogen with small amounts of methane and carbon monoxide. The terrain shows remarkable variation including dark/bright regions and smooth/mountainous areas.

Neptune is slightly smaller than Uranus, but still very large. The planet has a diameter of 49,500 km. You could fit 57.7 Earths inside Neptune, which has a volume of 6.25 x1013 km3.

Neptune is the eighth and outermost planet in our solar system. It is the fourth-largest planet by diameter and the third-largest by mass; Neptune is 17 times the mass of Earth and is slightly more massive than its near twin Uranus which is 14 Earth Masses, but slightly smaller due to its higher density.
