Neptune is another gas planet, and like Uranus it is green-blue in
color. Neptune has the strongest winds of all the planets. This
planet's winds blow at more than 1242 miles an hour! The large, dark
circles on its surface are believed to be storms. Neptune has two
thick rings and two thin rings, and at least eight moons. Four of
these moons orbit the planet within the rings. One of the moons
orbits the planet in the opposite direction of the seven other
moons. Neptune is the farthest planet from the sun.
