The Weather on Neptune Credit:
Neptune's weather is extreme, with winds reaching 900 miles per hour and temperatures around -150 Celsius. The blue color comes from methane gas absorbing red light in its atmosphere. Recent time-lapse pictures have shown how weather patterns differ between the planet's two hemispheres.
