Neptune

Neptune is the eighth planet from the Sun in the solar system. Neptune is named for the Roman god of the sea. Neptune is the fourth-largest planet by diameter and the third-largest by mass. Neptune was the only planet found by mathematical prediction rather than by empirical observation. Neptune is 17 times the mass of earth and is slightly more massive than its near-twin Uranus.
