Neptune, The Ice Planet

Equatorial diameter is 49,528 km.The Polar diameter is 48,682 km. You may look into the sky and think that you can see all the stars and planets. Many planets are not visible to the naked eye, and some planets are not visible at certain times of the year. In this report, you will learn all of this information about Neptune.

In the Solar System there is nine planets total counting Pluto and eight not counting pluto. Named after the Greek god of the underworld Pluto is the ninth of the nine planets from the sun. Pluto was discovered in February 18, 1930 by Clyde Tombaugh. Plutos the only orbit planet in the Solar System after it was classified as an orbit planet back in 2006. The planet has nine moons total Charon, Hydra, Nix, Kerberos, and Styx. Although Pluto is the largest Dwarf Planet it's smaller than most moon of the other planets. Alongside Pluto is the eighth planet from the sun otherwise known as Neptune. Due to its blue coloration Neptune was named after the Roman god of the Sea. While neptunes the third largest planet with respect to mass, according to diameter it's the fourth largest. Neptune has 14 moons and a very thin collection of rings that are made up of ice and dust

The discovery of the Neptune planet was the result of various hypotheses, generated by different astronomers and mathematicians from 1781 to 1847. The article entitled “Accounting for Anomaly: The Discovery of Neptune” describes how Neptune was mathematically identified, before being directly observed, using the calculations of Urbain Le Verrier. He made the hypothesis that the Newtonian gravitation law could not fully explain the series of irregularities in the path of the Uranus planet. Le Verrier suggested the existence of another planet, after Uranus, that could affect its gravity. In 1845 his hypothesis followed a series of calculations to determine the nature and position of this unknown planet. By this calculations Le Verrier’s understood

The planet, which hasn't been officially named yet, was found by Brown and colleagues using the Samuel

Pluto was discovered in 1930 by Clyde W. Tombaugh and was reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006. This means that for almost eighty years, all of mankind knew that Pluto was a planet. The real trouble for Pluto came in 1992 when David Jewitt and Jane Luu discovered the first celestial objects in a region now called the Kuiper Belt (Weintraub, 2015). Pluto is considered one of the largest celestial objects in the belt (Redd, 2012). However, there are some objects in

Neptune is blue, as you can see, and looks almost like the sky.” Rarity loved this planet the most, because she loved when she was at home, she could lay on the ground and stare at the sky and try to find shapes in the clouds. Neptune was as beautiful as a sunny day in summer when she would do exactly that. Rarity could stare at this planet all day long, and since the tour guide knew that Rarity and a lot of the other kids loved this planet so much, they decided that it would be a perfect spot to stop and sleep. Rarity knew they couldn’t go on this planet because it’s another gas giant and it has no surface, but she was still excited that she could sleep right beside it. Her room in the rocket ship had a perfect view of Neptune and so she stayed up almost all night, watching Neptune rotate and watch everything move so quietly. She loved this expedition and she knew that it was worth the

Pluto was found by a scientist in 1930. Through that time there was debates over whether this little ball of ice should be not considered a planet. It shouldn't”t be a planet because it does not dominate its neighbors.Also, Pluto’s orbit overlaps Neptune’s orbit That is not acceptable.Another Pluto has a moon a bit bigger than itself .On universe today it states “What does “cleared its neighborhood” mean? As planets form, they become the dominant gravitational body in their orbit in the Solar System…... Pluto is only 0.07 times the mass of the other objects in its orbit. The Earth, in comparison, has 1.7 million times the mass of the other objects in its orbit.” This is saying its too small to be a planet. Also on Starchild, it says “Pluto is usually farthest from the Sun. However, its orbit "crosses" inside of Neptune's orbit for 20 years out of every 248 years. Pluto last crossed inside Neptune's orbit on February 7, 1979, and temporarily became the 8th planet from the Sun.

Astronomer Clyde W. Tombaugh discovered Pluto in 1930. In the 85 years since its discovery, it has yet to complete a single orbit of the Sun.

At the end of our Solar System lies a small a small planet, smaller than any of the other planets, Pluto. In 1905, Lowell, an american astronomer, found the force of gravity of some unknown planet that is affect the orbits of Neptune and Uranus. In 1915 he predicted the location of a new planet. Lowell used a telescope to scope the sky where he thought that the planet would be discovered at. However, Lowell died without actually discovering Pluto. In 1930 Clyde W Tombaugh took over Lowell’s research on Pluto. He used predictions made by Lowell and other astronomers and photographed the sky with a more powerful telescope. After he examined the photos he found Pluto. Lowell and Tombaugh's work helped to find the ninth planet in the solar system,

Uranus takes 17 hours and 14 for a whole day on the planet, but it takes 84 years to make one orbit around the sun. The planet also turns the opposite way Earth does in a day. At Certain parts of its orbit it's poles get 42 years of direct sunlight. The rest of the year they are in

In 1905, Percival Lowell (left) studied the orbits of Neptune and Uranus. After using mathematics, he had proven a completely unknown planet, Planet X, must cause them to move oddly

In addition, Pluto orbits the sun in an oval shape. Most planets orbit the sun in a circular shape. Interesting addition it one year to Pluto is 248 Earth years. When Pluto orbits the Earth, it orbits the opposite way the sun orbits Earth.

“Perhaps most important for the science of astronomy is that the discovery of Uranus began the search for other undiscovered planets in our solar system. It was the beginning of a second phase in the discovery of planets, during which Neptune and Pluto were discovered.”

Pluto was discovered by Clyde Tombaugh in 1930. The telescope that took this picture is the most detailed view to date of the entire surface of the dwarf planet Pluto, as constructed from multiple NASA Hubble Space Telescope. Photographs taken from 2002 to 2003. (So whoever is reading this) Do you like telescopes or science? This newspaper for today will be about telescopes. Pluto is a dwarf planet. Pluto is different from most planets it’s smaller than most of them. The NASA Hubble Space Telescope from space. This telescope that took this image is a reflecting telescope.

b. Jennifer Rosenberg in her article Pluto Discovered writes, “It took a year of detailed, painstaking work, but Tombaugh did find Planet X. The discovery occurred on February 18, 1930 while Tombaugh was carefully examining a set of photographic plates created by the telescope”. Tombaugh officially announced the discovery of the ninth planet on March 13, 1930.
