Is there any creature in Neptune?
Right now, scientists don’t know if there’s any life on Neptune, and the conditions on the planet seem very hostile for life. It’s unlikely we’ll ever find any there. We wrote a detailed article on Universe Today about the possibility that there are oceans inside Neptune and other gas giant planets.
What is a weird fact about Neptune?
Neptune is the Smallest of the Gas Giants: But here’s the funny thing: Neptune is actually more massive than Uranus by about 18%. Since it’s smaller but more massive, Neptune has a much higher density than Uranus. In fact, at 1.638 g/cm3, Neptune is the densest gas giant in the Solar System.
How did Neptune turn blue?
The predominant blue color of the planet is a result of the absorption of red and infrared light by Neptune’s methane atmosphere.

Can I swim on Neptune?
Being an ice giant, there is no water on the surface of Neptune. Having a surface temperature of −201 oC any water on Neptune will be frozen. Extraterrestrial liquid water is believed to be beneath the ice surfaces of the Jovian moons Europa and Ganymede.
Is Neptune frozen?
Neptune does not have a solid surface. Its atmosphere (made up mostly of hydrogen, helium, and methane) extends to great depths, gradually merging into water and other melted ices over a heavier, solid core with about the same mass as Earth.
Is Neptune really blue?
Neptune’s atmosphere is made up of hydrogen, helium and methane. The methane in Neptune’s upper atmosphere absorbs the red light from the sun but reflects the blue light from the Sun back into space. This is why Neptune appears blue.
What was Uranus hit by?
The seventh planet from the Sun, Uranus has the third-largest planetary radius, and scientists believe that around four billion years ago it was hit by a huge object, likely made of rock and ice.
