 * __Fun Facts__**

1. Neptune's blue color is caused by the methane (Chu) in its atmosphere this molecule absorbs red light. 2. Neptune was the first planet whose existence was predicted mathematically (The planet Uranus orbit was perturbed by an unknown object which turned out to be another gas giant). 3. Neptune is about 30,775 miles (49,528 km) in diamter, this is about 3.88 times the diameter of the Earth. 4. Neptune's mass is about 1.02.1026kg. This is over 17 times the mass of Earth, but the gravity on Neptune is only 1.19 times of the gravity on Earth. This is because it is such a large planet and the gravitational force of planet exerts upon an object at the planet's surface is proportional to its mass and the inverse of its radius squared. 5. A 100lb person would weigh 119lbs on Neptune. 6.Since Neptune was discovered in 1846 it has not yet completed a single revolution around the sun. > > **__WEATHER REPORT__** A normal day on Neptune is laying at the ice cold beach sipping a ice smoothie, make sure you have a long sleeve shirt, and nice long and warm pants. > You could go ice surfing, have ice sculpting contests, or for adults you cold go to Neptunes six star casino,and rest at our five star hotel the NEPTUNE INN. While your staying the temperature will be very cold. You should also pack a 2 layer pants and long sleeve shirt with gloves, hats, very warm socks, and fuzzy slippers. If you don't you might even freeze into a human popsicle. Also its great for kids because it's just like the North Pole. The daily temperatures range from -200 celcius -330 f. > > **__ACTIVITY__** Sou could also go on an ice adventure and laser ice tag and if you don't know how to ice skate you better learn now because you have to ice skate to your hotel. Your kids would never be bored when you can sit down in the ice hot tub. > > Also if you want to remember your time at Neptune you can take a picture with our friendly alien Coldster he does love to take pictures and meet the new creatures he never seen before.But make sure you dont touch him because he's freezing cold and if you do touch well lets say you'll get frost bite so try to enjoy your stay at Neptune. > >  > Citations:Zoom Astronomy September 23 2009. > Citations:[] October 7 2009. > Citations:Neptune By Seymour Simon,Written May 1997. > Citations:http://www.kidscosmos.org October 7,2009
