Neptune 🪐

The last planet in our solar system is Neptune, the eighth and farthest planet from the Sun. Like Uranus, it is an ice giant with a deep blue appearance caused by methane in its atmosphere.

Neptune is famous for having the fastest winds in the solar system, which can reach speeds of over 1,200 miles per hour (2,000 kilometers per hour). It has a faint ring system and at least 14 moons. Its largest moon, Triton, is known for its retrograde orbit (it orbits in the opposite direction of Neptune's rotation) and cryo-volcanoes that erupt icy material.
