HOW STRONG IS THE GRAVITY NEPTUNE?

• Although Neptune is much bigger than earth, it's surface gravity is about the same as the surface gravity on earth. This is because Neptune is made of gases and it's not solid like earth. This makes Neptune very light for its size. The surface gravity on the Neptune is about 110% of the surface gravity on earth, so if you weigh 100 pounds on earth, you would weigh 110 pounds on Neptune.

THE LOCATION

• Neptune is the eighth planet.
• When Neptune and Earth line up on the same side of the sun, at their closest, they are only 2.7 billion miles (4.3 billon kilometers) apart.
• Neptune, distance from sun 2,798,000,000 miles (4,503,000,000 km)
