Neptune is the 8th and farthest planet from the Sun in our solar system. It’s a giant ball of gas and ice, and it’s blue because of the methane gas in its atmosphere. It’s super cold, super windy, and has storms way more powerful than anything on Earth. One storm is even called the Great Dark Spot – like Jupiter’s storm but darker and scarier.

Neptune has rings, but they’re thin and hard to see. It also has 14 moons, and the biggest one is Triton, which orbits the planet backwards (weird, right?). Scientists think Triton might’ve been a mini-planet that Neptune captured.

It takes Neptune about 165 Earth years to go once around the Sun! And even though it's so far, we still study it using telescopes and spacecraft data (like from Voyager 2).
