The farthest planet from the Sun, Neptune, is the windiest place in the solar system, with winds that whip through at speeds reaching more than 0.3 miles per second (0.5 kilometers per second).

“Neptune has the highest measured wind speeds in the solar system, with average wind speeds near [the] equator of 700 miles per hour and peak wind speeds in places that are more than 1,000 mph.

It's also possible to spot a bright, thin line circling the planet's equator, which could be "a visual signature of global atmospheric circulation that powers Neptune's winds and storms ...

Neptune, which has a blue hue due to the methane in its atmosphere, is a frozen world with an average temperature of minus 392 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 235 degrees Celsius) and screaming winds ...

In contrast, Neptune is better at clearing its skies because it has a more active airspace. Winds on Neptune churn up methane gas from the deep, and they glom onto aerosol particles in the ...

Scientists have uncovered the secret ingredient fueling supercharged storms on Uranus and Neptune: methane ... for first time ever Powerful solar winds squish Jupiter's magnetic field 'like ...

In comparison, the fastest wind ever measured in the Solar System was found on Neptune, moving at 'only' 0.5 km per second (1800 km/h). The team, whose research was published today in Astronomy ...

This is because (as Voyager 2 also discovered) Neptune's magnetic field is tilted by 47 degrees off of the planet's axis of rotation—meaning that the field lines along which the solar wind is ...

Neptune has some of the highest winds in the solar system and the "Great Dark Spot" storm system. Triton is even more interesting, with potential active volcanism and possibly a subsurface ocean.
