Neptune. Computer artwork of a possible scene below clouds on the planet Neptune

Neptune. Computer artwork of a possible scene below clouds on the planet Neptune. Neptune, a gas giant, is the eighth planet from the Sun. The large distance from the Sun means Neptunes outer layers are around -218 degrees Celsius. Most of the atmosphere is hydrogen and helium, with traces of water and methane. The temperature and pressure rise with depth, and the atmosphere merges into a liquid region of rock, water, methane and ammonia. Deep below this is a rocky core. From space, Neptune appears blue due to the absorption of red light by atmospheric methane. Neptune has the fastest winds in the solar system

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of Neptune showcases a computer-generated artwork depicting a possible scene below the planet's mesmerizing clouds. As the eighth planet from the Sun, Neptune resides at an immense distance resulting in freezing temperatures that plummet to around -218 degrees Celsius. Its atmosphere predominantly consists of hydrogen and helium, with faint traces of water and methane. Delving deeper into its atmospheric layers reveals escalating temperature and pressure, eventually merging into a liquid realm composed of rock, water, methane, and ammonia. Nestled beneath this lies Neptune's rocky core. From a distant vantage point in space, Neptune emanates an enchanting blue hue due to the absorption of red light by atmospheric methane. This gas giant boasts the fastest winds within our solar system—unleashing their might upon its icy surface. The intricate illustration captures both the ethereal beauty and extreme conditions present on this distant celestial body. It serves as a testament to humanity's insatiable curiosity about planetary science while reminding us of the vast wonders that lie beyond our own world.
