Overview
The climate on Neptune is extremely active. In its upper atmosphere, large storms sweep across it and high-speed solar winds track around the planet at up to 1,340 km per second. The largest storm was the Great Dark Spot in 1989 which lasted for around five years. Only one spacecraft, the Voyage 2, has only flew pass Neptune. It happened in 1989 and captured the first close-up images of the Neptunian system. It took 246 minutes – four hours and six minutes – for signals from Voyager 2 to reach back The planets equatorial clouds take 18 hours to complete one rotation. The reason this happens is that Neptune does not have a solid body. to Earth. Neptune spins very quickly on its axis. Neptune was discovered by Jean Joseph Le Verrier. The planet was not known to ancient civilizations because it is not visible to the naked eye. The planet was initially called Le Verrier after its discoverer. This name, however, quickly was abandoned and the name Neptune was chosen instead. It takes Neptune 164.8 Earth Years to orbit and to go around the Sun. On 11 July 2011, Neptune completed its first full orbit since its discovery in 1846.
