This planet is so blue that if your favorite color is blue, you
might be overwhelmed with blue and choose a different color instead. Anyways,
today, I will be talking to you about Neptune, the last but not least planet of
the solar system. Neptune is one of the gas giants and it is about 2.77 billion
miles away from the Sun!! Also did you know that sometimes, Pluto gets closer
to the Sun in its orbit so it passes Neptune for a short while? Here is a
picture of Pluto in front of Neptune:
As you can see, Pluto's orbit intersects with Neptune's orbit and goes in front of it. Neptune also has a lot of moons. It's most famous moon is Triton for it's size. It is also the biggest moon Neptune has. If you weigh 70 pounds on Earth, you would weigh 75.8 lbs on Neptune. Neptune is composed mainly of hydrogen, helium and methane.
If you love the color blue, then the next destination for you is Neptune, because, well, you know why.
I'd like to say thank you for visiting my blog so far and look forward to the posts that are coming up. I also would like to say thanks to the people who were with me the whole way so far. Our unit on the Solar System Planets is done and you should be proud of what you have learned in the past two months. Next week, Intro to Dwarf Planets. I look forward to keep on blogging and once again, I'd like to say thank you and I wish you a happy 4th of July.
