Why Neptune has the fastest winds in he solar system despite receiving 900 times less sunlight than Earth
Neptune, a distant ice giant, experiences remarkably strong winds. These winds exceed 2,000 kilometers per hour, far surpassing Earth’s speeds. Scientists believe internal heat drives Neptune’s powerful atmospheric activity. Voyager 2 observed immense storms like the Great Dark Spot. This world challenges assumptions about solar energy and wind generation.
