What scientist discovered Neptune?
The astronomer Galle, assisted by d'Arrest, discovered Neptune. Credit is also given to Adams and Le Verrier. They were mathematicians who predicted the position of Neptune. Le Verrier persuaded astronomers to search for the new planet.
What is the first planet to be discovered using observed gravitational anomalies?
The first planet to be discovered using observed gravitational anomalies was Neptune. Its existence was predicted mathematically based on irregularities in the orbit of Uranus, which led astronomers to search for and discover Neptune in 1846.
What made the scientist think that Neptune must exist?
Go to Google and search solar system webquest, and the answer should be on the first one. Then when you get on the site there should be pictures of each planet. Then click Neptune, and it practically tells you everything important about Neptune.
Is there water on Neptune?
No. There is no water on Neptune. Neptune is a gas giant, which means it is made of gasses and has no solid surface. With no surface it is impossible for water to form. The blue is caused by methane gasses in Neptune's atmosphere reflecting back the blue light spectrum from the dim sunlight that reaches the planet, giving the appearance through our telescopes that Neptune is blue. But whether Neptune really is blue or whether it's entirely an illusion caused by light reflections is an open debate.
What prompted the astronomers to look for neptune?
They discovered Neptune in 1846, by examining the orbits of the other gas giant planets, particulary Uranus. Its slight deviation in orbit was as a result of neptunes gravitational effect.

Which planet was discovered when a neighbouring planet strayed from its orbit?
Neptune was discovered when astronomers noticed that the orbit of Uranus was being perturbed by gravitational forces from an unknown distant planet. This led to the search for and eventual discovery of Neptune in 1846.

Why do astronomers search for them and monitor their positions?
We can not answer your question because, stupidly, you have not told us what "them" are.
What planet did percival Lowell search for?
Percival Lowell searched for Planet X, also known as Planet Nine or Planet Neun. He believed that anomalies in the orbits of Uranus and Neptune were caused by the gravitational pull of an unknown planet located beyond Neptune.
Is there water on Neptune?
No. There is no water on Neptune. Neptune is a gas giant, which means it is made of gasses and has no solid surface. With no surface it is impossible for water to form.

How did Neptune the planet get its name?
After the discovery of Neptune, as a planet (Galileo observed Neptune in 1612 and 1613, but thought it to be a star), it was often referred to as "The Planet Exterior to Uranus" and "Le Verrier's Planet" (in reference to Urbain Le Verrier, who predicted Neptune's position within one degree). Johann Gottfried Galle, one of the astronomers who took part in the search for Neptune, proposed that Neptune be named Janus. James Challis, another such astronomer, suggested the name Oceanus. In the end it was Le Verrier who suggested the name Neptune, although there were many complications before the name was finally accepted.
When was the moon discovered by astronomers?
I don't know but type it in on google search and keep looking it is much easier!
Which are characteristics of a search area?
have berms to mitigate blast effects, be obscured by camouflage, and obstruct observation of search area from outside the installation.
Who is credited for discovering Neptune?
Galileo, although he had no idea he had found a new planet, and did not note it as such, and is therefore, not credited. Neptune was predicted mathematically by a French astronomer, Urbain Le Verrier. Two observers at the Berlin observatory found Neptune within 1 degree of where Le Verrier said it should be.
