Neptune

Context: In the wake of the discovery, there was a heated nationalistic rivalry between the French and the British over who deserved credit for the discovery. Eventually, an international consensus emerged that Le Verrier and Adams deserved joint credit. Since 1966, Dennis Rawlins has questioned the credibility of Adams's claim to co-discovery, and the issue was re-evaluated by historians with the return in 1998 of the "Neptune papers" (historical documents) to the Royal Observatory, Greenwich.

Question: నెప్ట్యూన్ సూర్యుడి చుట్టూ తిరగడానికి ఎంత సమయం పడుతుంది?


Neptune

Context: Shortly after its discovery, Neptune was referred to simply as "the planet exterior to Uranus" or as "Le Verrier's planet". The first suggestion for a name came from Galle, who proposed the name "Janus". In England, Challis put forward the name "Oceanus".

Question: నెప్ట్యూన్ సూర్యుడి చుట్టూ తిరగడానికి ఎంత సమయం పడుతుంది?


Neptune

Context: Neptune's internal structure resembles that of Uranus. Its atmosphere forms about 5 to 10% of its mass and extends perhaps 10 to 20% of the way towards the core, where it reaches pressures of about 10 GPa, or about 100,000 times that of Earth's atmosphere. Increasing concentrations of methane, ammonia and water are found in the lower regions of the atmosphere.

Question: నెప్ట్యూన్ సూర్యుడి చుట్టూ తిరగడానికి ఎంత సమయం పడుతుంది?


Neptune

Context: The core of Neptune is likely composed of iron, nickel and silicates, with an interior model giving a mass about 1.2 times that of Earth. The pressure at the centre is 7 Mbar (700 GPa), about twice as high as that at the centre of Earth, and the temperature may be 5,400 K.

Question: నెప్ట్యూన్ సూర్యుడి చుట్టూ తిరగడానికి ఎంత సమయం పడుతుంది?


Neptune

Context: Neptune's atmosphere is subdivided into two main regions: the lower troposphere, where temperature decreases with altitude, and the stratosphere, where temperature increases with altitude. The boundary between the two, the tropopause, lies at a pressure of . The stratosphere then gives way to the thermosphere at a pressure lower than 10−5 to 10−4 bars (1 to 10 Pa). The thermosphere gradually transitions to the exosphere.

Question: నెప్ట్యూన్ సూర్యుడి చుట్టూ తిరగడానికి ఎంత సమయం పడుతుంది?


Neptune

Context: High-altitude clouds on Neptune have been observed casting shadows on the opaque cloud deck below. There are also high-altitude cloud bands that wrap around the planet at constant latitude. These circumferential bands have widths of 50–150 km and lie about 50–110 km above the cloud deck. These altitudes are in the layer where weather occurs, the troposphere. Weather does not occur in the higher stratosphere or thermosphere.

Question: నెప్ట్యూన్ సూర్యుడి చుట్టూ తిరగడానికి ఎంత సమయం పడుతుంది?


Neptune

Context: Neptune's spectra suggest that its lower stratosphere is hazy due to condensation of products of ultraviolet photolysis of methane, such as ethane and ethyne. The stratosphere is also home to trace amounts of carbon monoxide and hydrogen cyanide. The stratosphere of Neptune is warmer than that of Uranus due to the elevated concentration of hydrocarbons.

Question: నెప్ట్యూన్ సూర్యుడి చుట్టూ తిరగడానికి ఎంత సమయం పడుతుంది?


Neptune

Context: Neptune's bow shock, where the magnetosphere begins to slow the solar wind, occurs at a distance of 34.9 times the radius of the planet. The magnetopause, where the pressure of the magnetosphere counterbalances the solar wind, lies at a distance of 23–26.5 times the radius of Neptune. The tail of the magnetosphere extends out to at least 72 times the radius of Neptune, and likely much farther.

Question: నెప్ట్యూన్ సూర్యుడి చుట్టూ తిరగడానికి ఎంత సమయం పడుతుంది?


Neptune

Context: Neptune differs from Uranus in its typical level of meteorological activity. "Voyager 2" observed weather phenomena on Neptune during its 1989 flyby, but no comparable phenomena on Uranus during its 1986 fly-by.

Question: నెప్ట్యూన్ సూర్యుడి చుట్టూ తిరగడానికి ఎంత సమయం పడుతుంది?


Neptune

Context: The abundance of methane, ethane and acetylene at Neptune's equator is 10–100 times greater than at the poles. This is interpreted as evidence for upwelling at the equator and subsidence near the poles because photochemistry cannot account for the distribution without meridional circulation.

Question: నెప్ట్యూన్ సూర్యుడి చుట్టూ తిరగడానికి ఎంత సమయం పడుతుంది?


Neptune

Context: Because of seasonal changes, the cloud bands in the southern hemisphere of Neptune have been observed to increase in size and albedo. This trend was first seen in 1980. The long orbital period of Neptune results in seasons lasting forty years.

Question: నెప్ట్యూన్ సూర్యుడి చుట్టూ తిరగడానికి ఎంత సమయం పడుతుంది?


Neptune

Context: In 1989, the Great Dark Spot, an anticyclonic storm system spanning was discovered by NASA's "Voyager 2" spacecraft. The storm resembled the Great Red Spot of Jupiter. Some five years later, on 2 November 1994, the Hubble Space Telescope did not see the Great Dark Spot on the planet. Instead, a new storm similar to the Great Dark Spot was found in Neptune's northern hemisphere.

Question: నెప్ట్యూన్ సూర్యుడి చుట్టూ తిరగడానికి ఎంత సమయం పడుతుంది?


Neptune

Context: The average distance between Neptune and the Sun is (about 30.1 astronomical units (AU)), and it completes an orbit on average every 164.79 years, subject to a variability of around ±0.1 years. The perihelion distance is 29.81 AU; the aphelion distance is 30.33 AU.

Question: నెప్ట్యూన్ సూర్యుడి చుట్టూ తిరగడానికి ఎంత సమయం పడుతుంది?


Neptune

Context: The axial tilt of Neptune is 28.32°, which is similar to the tilts of Earth (23°) and Mars (25°). As a result, Neptune experiences similar seasonal changes to Earth. The long orbital period of Neptune means that the seasons last for forty Earth years. Its sidereal rotation period (day) is roughly 16.11 hours. Because its axial tilt is comparable to Earth's, the variation in the length of its day over the course of its long year is not any more extreme.

Question: నెప్ట్యూన్ సూర్యుడి చుట్టూ తిరగడానికి ఎంత సమయం పడుతుంది?


Neptune

Context: Because Neptune is not a solid body, its atmosphere undergoes differential rotation. The wide equatorial zone rotates with a period of about 18 hours, which is slower than the 16.1-hour rotation of the planet's magnetic field. By contrast, the reverse is true for the polar regions where the rotation period is 12 hours. This differential rotation is the most pronounced of any planet in the Solar System, and it results in strong latitudinal wind shear.

Question: నెప్ట్యూన్ సూర్యుడి చుట్టూ తిరగడానికి ఎంత సమయం పడుతుంది?


Neptune

Context: Neptune's second-known satellite (by order of discovery), the irregular moon Nereid, has one of the most eccentric orbits of any satellite in the Solar System. The eccentricity of 0.7512 gives it an apoapsis that is seven times its periapsis distance from Neptune.

Neptune

Context: The first of these planetary rings was detected in 1968 by a team led by Edward Guinan. In the early 1980s, analysis of this data along with newer observations led to the hypothesis that this ring might be incomplete.

Question: నెప్ట్యూన్ సూర్యుడి చుట్టూ తిరగడానికి ఎంత సమయం పడుతుంది?


Neptune

Context: Evidence that the rings might have gaps first arose during a stellar occultation in 1984 when the rings obscured a star on immersion but not on emersion. Images from "Voyager 2" in 1989 settled the issue by showing several faint rings.

Question: నెప్ట్యూన్ సూర్యుడి చుట్టూ తిరగడానికి ఎంత సమయం పడుతుంది?


Neptune

Context: The outermost ring, Adams, contains five prominent arcs now named "Courage", "Liberté", "Egalité 1", "Egalité 2" and "Fraternité" (Courage, Liberty, Equality and Fraternity). The existence of arcs was difficult to explain because the laws of motion would predict that arcs would spread out into a uniform ring over short timescales. Astronomers now estimate that the arcs are corralled into their current form by the gravitational effects of Galatea, a moon just inward from the ring.

Question: నెప్ట్యూన్ సూర్యుడి చుట్టూ తిరగడానికి ఎంత సమయం పడుతుంది?


Neptune

Context: Earth-based observations announced in 2005 appeared to show that Neptune's rings are much more unstable than previously thought. Images taken from the W. M. Keck Observatory in 2002 and 2003 show considerable decay in the rings when compared to images by "Voyager 2". In particular, it seems that the "Liberté" arc might disappear in as little as one century.

Question: నెప్ట్యూన్ సూర్యుడి చుట్టూ తిరగడానికి ఎంత సమయం పడుతుంది?


Neptune

Context: From Earth, Neptune goes through apparent retrograde motion every 367 days, resulting in a looping motion against the background stars during each opposition. These loops carried it close to the 1846 discovery coordinates in April and July 2010 and again in October and November 2011.

Question: నెప్ట్యూన్ సూర్యుడి చుట్టూ తిరగడానికి ఎంత సమయం పడుతుంది?


Neptune

Context: Neptune's 164-year orbital period means that the planet takes an average of 13 years to move through each constellation of the zodiac. In 2011, it completed its first full orbit of the Sun since being discovered and returned to where it was first spotted northeast of Iota Aquarii.

Question: నెప్ట్యూన్ సూర్యుడి చుట్టూ తిరగడానికి ఎంత సమయం పడుతుంది?


Neptune

Context: Observation of Neptune in the radio-frequency band shows that it is a source of both continuous emission and irregular bursts. Both sources are thought to originate from its rotating magnetic field. In the infrared part of the spectrum, Neptune's storms appear bright against the cooler background, allowing the size and shape of these features to be readily tracked.

Question: నెప్ట్యూన్ సూర్యుడి చుట్టూ తిరగడానికి ఎంత సమయం పడుతుంది?


Neptune

Context: During the encounter, signals from the spacecraft required 246 minutes to reach Earth. Hence, for the most part, "Voyager 2" mission relied on preloaded commands for the Neptune encounter. The spacecraft performed a near-encounter with the moon Nereid before it came within 4,400 km of Neptune's atmosphere on 25 August, then passed close to the planet's largest moon Triton later the same day.

Question: నెప్ట్యూన్ సూర్యుడి చుట్టూ తిరగడానికి ఎంత సమయం పడుతుంది?


Neptune

Context: The spacecraft verified the existence of a magnetic field surrounding the planet and discovered that the field was offset from the centre and tilted in a manner similar to the field around Uranus. Neptune's rotation period was determined using measurements of radio emissions and "Voyager 2" also showed that Neptune had a surprisingly active weather system. Six new moons were discovered, and the planet was shown to have more than one ring.

Question: నెప్ట్యూన్ సూర్యుడి చుట్టూ తిరగడానికి ఎంత సమయం పడుతుంది?


Neptune

Context: The flyby also provided the first accurate measurement of Neptune's mass which was found to be 0.5 percent less than previously calculated. The new figure disproved the hypothesis that an undiscovered Planet X acted upon the orbits of Neptune and Uranus.
