Neptune
The eighth planet from the Sun in the solar system. Neptune is part of the outer solar system and is a gas giant planet. For the years 1979 to 1999, it is actually the outer most planet in the solar system since Pluto has such an eccentric orbit that it crosses over to be inside Neptune's orbit during those years. Neptune is a dynamic world with cloud features and cyclonic storms, somewhat similar to those of Jupiter and Saturn . Unlike Jupiter and Saturn, Neptune possesses a composition which contains many more icy substances such as methane and ammonia. It is the methane in Neptune's atmosphere that causes it to be blue. Neptune has eight moons, most of which are small rocky bodies. Triton, however, is an interesting world in its own right. It possesses a complex set of seasons and has a particularly fascinating form of icy volcanism taking place on its surface.
