  1. NEPTUNE By: Josie Pomrenke and Morgan Smith

  2. Space Tours Welcome to our tour of Neptune. I’m Josie and I’m Morgan. Get ready to blast off! We are going past Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus. Here we are, NEPTUNE!!!!! Our space shuttle is orbiting around the eighth planet from the sun. if you look off to the right you can see the first satellite to explore Neptune. This is Voyager 2. This is Voyager 2.

  3. What Neptune is Like This planet is mostly gas. The gas mainly consists of hydrogen, helium, methane, water, ammonia, and other ices. It does not have a solid surface. The temperatures range from –218 ̊ to -200 ̊C. BURR!!! This is Neptune’s atmosphere.

  4. Neptune’s Moons Neptune has 13 moons orbiting it. If you look off to the right you will see Triton, Nereid, and Larissa. Triton is the 7th largest moon in the solar system. Nereid is 340 km across. Larissa was “lost” and wasn’t found until Voyager 2 found it in 1989. • This is Triton. This is Nereid. This is Larissa.

  5. Rotation and Orbit In 16 hours 6 minutes and 36 seconds is the length of Neptune’s day. It takes 164.79 Earth years to orbit the sun. Neptune is the eight planet.

  6. Size of Neptune • The diameter of Neptune is 49,532 km. It is 4,536,870,000 km from the sun. See that little sparkling object out in the distance? That is the sun. • Neptune and the sun.

  7. The Discovery of Neptune This amazing planet was discovered by Urbain Le Verrier. He discovered it in 1846. The planets name came from the Roman god of the sea. Aka Poseidon in Greek mythology. This is the God of the sea.

  8. Fun Facts • To conclude our awesome space tour we have our epic facts! Yeah! First different parts of the planet rotate at different speeds. The temperature is warmer at the core. The gravity is 11.15 m/s ². In diameter it is the 4th largest planet. Goodbye from space tours.

  9. SUMMARY Neptune is the most awesome planet in the solar system. Josie and I picked Neptune because we thought that nobody else would do it. Also it’s the farthest planet from the sun, so it probably has the least known yet most fascinating. No we wouldn’t want to visit because it is made of gas so we couldn’t actually land on it and that would be LAME! Living on Neptune would be a bad idea. There is no air, gravity, it’s made of gas, and it is COLD!! NEPTUNE IS UTTERLY FANTASTIC!
