 * Neptune is an outer planet
 * Neptune's mass is 17 times the mass of Earth
 * Neptune's diameter 49500 kilometers
 * Neptune is 4.5 billion kilometers away from the sun
 * Neptune takes 165 years to orbit the sun
 * Neptune's moons:
 * Neptune's temperature is -200 degrees Celsius
 * Neptune is a gas planet
 * There is16.11 hours in a day on Neptune
 * Comets are giant snowballs of frozen gases, rock and dust about the size of a small town. When a comet's orbit brings it close to the sun, it heats up and spews dust and gases into a giant glowing head larger than most planets. The dust and gases form a tail that stretches away from the sun for many million kilometers.
 * Asteroids are usually called Dwarf Planets but the correct term is "Small Solar System Bodies." The name Asteroid means "Small Star." Asteroids are sometimes ice, metal, or stone. Asteroids are made up of leftover space rubble, and they are also leftover gas ad terrestrials from when our solar system was born, giving them the tendency to be different materials. Asteroids orbit around the sun in a belt around Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, named the Asteroid Belt. In 2008, an asteroid entered Earth's atmosphere and broke apart into dust just above Africa.

Dwarf Planets are not gravitationally dominant.They share orbital space with other bodies with a similar size. Pluto is considered a dwarf planet because it orbits just beyond the orbit of Neptune called the Kuiper Belt.The Kuiper Belt is populated with frozen bodies left over from the creation of our Solar System. The world was introduced to Dwarf Planets when Pluto was stripped of it's planet status and labeled as a Dwarf Planet. The International Astronomical Union has also identified two other dwarf planets named Eris and Ceres Fun fact: - Neptune is the 4th largest planet in the Solar System -There is a Neptune song that is uploaded here:(After the pictures) .

[] <-Netune's Holst composed by Gustav Holst I learned about it in band class. There is a Holst for every planet in our solar system.
