Neptune
Neptune is the eighth and farthest known planet from the Sun in the Solar System . In the Solar System, it is the fourth-largest planet by diameter, the third-most-massive planet, and the densest giant planet . Neptune is 17 times the mass of Earth and is slightly more massive than its near-twin Uranus , which is 15 times the mass of Earth and slightly larger than Neptune. [d] Neptune orbits the Sun once every 164.8 years at an average distance of 30.1 AU (4.5 billion km). It is named after the Roman god of the sea and has the astronomical symbol ♆, a stylised version of the god Neptune's trident .

Neptune is the eighth or, occasionally, the ninth planet from the Sun due to Pluto 's eccentric orbit (if Pluto counts as a planet), and the outermost gas giant in the solar system . Although the smallest of the gas giants, Neptune is more massive than Uranus : Its stronger gravitational field has compressed it to a higher density. |

After the discovery of Uranus , it was noted that the orbits of Uranus, Saturn , and Jupiter were apparently being perturbed by an additional unknown mass in the outer solar system. John Couch Adams and Urbain Jean Joseph Le Verrier used calculations to predict the region of the sky where the mysterious additional planet was likely to be located, and it was subsequently independantly discovered by the German astronomer Johann Gottfried Galle of Berlin |
