SOME RANDOM FACTS

Neptune is named after the Roman god of the sea, fitting its blue color and its position as the furthest known planet from the Sun.
Neptune has a strong magnetic field that is tilted relative to its rotational axis.
Triton, Neptune's largest moon, orbits the planet in a retrograde direction, meaning it moves opposite to the planet's rotation. This suggests Triton may have been captured from the Kuiper Belt.
Neptune has the strongest winds in the solar system, with speeds reaching up to 2,100 kilometers per hour (1,300 miles per hour).
