Unlike Uranus, Neptune sometimes exhibits a dark spot known as âthe great dark spot.â The 8,000 mile long spot, which resembles Jupiterâs Great Red Spot, is a huge area of storm activity that is thought to represent a hole in Neptuneâs methane cloud. Unlike Jupiterâs spot, however, the great dark spot seems to have a much shorter life-span and is cloud-free in the middle. There have been several of these spots that have come and gone on Neptune since 1989. Winds in excess of 1,500 miles per hour have been recorded within the spot, making it the solar systemâs windiest place.
Neptune is the eighth and farthest planet from the Sun in the Solar System. It is the fourth-largest planet by diameter and the third-largest by mass. Among the giant planets in the Solar System, Neptune is the most dense.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 not as dense as Neptune.Neptune orbits the Sun at an average distance of 30.1 astronomical units (4.50 Ã 10 9 km).eptune 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 not as dense as Neptune.
