by. Questions 1. How did scientists predict the existence of Neptune before it was discovered? 2. In what ways is Neptune similar to the other outer planets? 3. Describe Neptune’s weather. 4. Why do scientists think that Triton did not form near Neptune? 1. Scientists predict the existence of Neptune before it was discovered. They noticed that Uranus was not always located exactly where it should be. They assumed that gravitational pull of another planet beyond Uranus was affecting Uranus orbit. Neptune was discovered in 1 846 in the position that had been predicted 2. Neptune is similar to the other outer planets because Neptune has rings of ice and dust. 3. Neptune's weather is very cold. The winds on Neptune are stronger than those on any of planets in our solar system, reaching speeds of 1,100 kilometers per hours. Neptune is one of the coldest places in the solar system. 4. Scientists think that Triton did not form near Neptune because the moon orbits in the opposite direction to the orbit of Neptune and it has a pure circle orbit. they think that Triton did not form near Neptune but instead was captured by Neptunes gravity as it passed by.
