Detailed explanation-1: -Why was Poseidon chosen to name the planet Neptune? Its bluish color is due to the high presence of methane; for this color, it received the name of the god of the sea, Neptune. It has 13 satellites. The god Neptune was the son of Saturn and Rhea.
Detailed explanation-2: -Definition. Neptune is the Roman god of the sea and the Roman equivalent of the Greek god Poseidon. He was originally a god of fresh water and became associated with Poseidon early on in Roman history.
Detailed explanation-3: -Neptune’s atmosphere is made up of hydrogen, helium and methane. The methane in Neptune’s upper atmosphere absorbs the red light from the sun but reflects the blue light from the Sun back into space. This is why Neptune appears blue.
Detailed explanation-4: -It’s made of a thick fog of water, ammonia, and methane over an Earth-sized solid center. Its atmosphere is made of hydrogen, helium, and methane. The methane gives Neptune the same blue color as Uranus.
