It is also the fourth largest planet dealing with diameter. Has the second largest gravity of any planet. Spins quickly on its axis. Neptune has the strongest winds in the solar system. Its surface gravity is almost like Earths. It’s also the coldest planet in the solar system. It’s ...
In 1934, wind gusts of 231 miles per hour roared over the top of Mount Washington, rattling the weathermen who managed to record it.
What is unusual about the magnetosphere of Uranus? Which of the Jovian planets has the largest magnetosphere? Which planet has the strongest magnetosphere? Which planet is the most cratered of the terrestrial planets? Which of the Solar System's gas planets have storms? What does the magnetospher...
Hurricane season in the Atlantic brings a host of dramatic and dangerous weather, from whipping winds, torrential downpours, power outages and flash floods. And as climate change has been tied to an increase in hurricane intensity, these impacts could continue to worsen. But when exactly does th...
