🇬🇧 Neptune meaning: English Vocabulary Flash Card

Neptune is a giant planet made mostly of gas and ice that orbits very far from the Sun. It is the eighth planet in our solar system, after Uranus, and it looks deep blue because of the gases in its atmosphere. Neptune is extremely cold, has strong winds, and takes a very long time to go once around the Sun. It is much bigger than Earth and cannot be walked on like the ground here, because it doesn’t have a solid surface like our planet.
