Now we are going to talk some of Nepune's storms. First w are going to talk about the Great Dark Spot. The Great Dark Spot was a huge spinning storm in the southern atmosphere of Neptune which was about the size of the entire Earth. Winds in this storm were measured at speeds of up to 1,500 miles per hour. These were the strongest winds ever recorded on any planet in the solar system! Wow that's some really strong winds! The Great Dark Spot was first discovered when the Voyager 2 spacecraft flew by Neptune in 1989. When the Hubble Space Telescope looked at Neptune in 1994, the Great Dark Spot was gone and a different dark spot had appeared in the northern atmosphere of Neptune.
The Storm nicknamed the Scooter is high level clouds that whip across the sky in the upper atmosphere.
It does snow on Neptune but it's not like snow on earth, it is of ammonia ice crystals. i
Neptune does have water because ice is present in the atmosphere of Neptune, which is comprised of water. Also, the interior of Neptune contains ice. Ice, and thus, water, can be found among the rock inside Neptune.
Neptune has thirteen moons that we know of. The largest moon is Triton. Triton is slightly smaller than Earth's Moon and has active volcanoes which erupt like geysers and eject nitrogen frost over the surface.
Guess what time it is! Its fun fact time!!!!!! Yaaayyy!! cough cough I mean lets get started.
