  10. Reflection • I chose Neptune because Neptune is the farthest planet from the Sun not counting dwarf planets. Another reason I chose Neptune is, that the planet was named after the roman God Neptune. • The most surprising thing I learned was that the rotation only takes 16hours, 7minutes. • I would love to learn more about Neptune.
