Neptune was discovered in 1846 through observations of Uranus. Uranus' orbit was seen to appear to alter slightly through the gravitational effect of another planet, which turned out to be Neptune.
Before Neptune was discovered, irregularities in Uranus's orbit led to its prediction. Verrier was actually able to predict where Neptune was and was within one degree accuracy.

Which objects are also called gas giants?
Another name for gaseous planets is Jovian planet meaning Jupiter like.
What planet has the same size as another plant?
There are no planets that we know of that are exactly the same size.
How is a moon different from a planet or a dwarf planet?
A moon is a celestial body that orbits a planet, whereas a planet is a celestial body that orbits a star and has cleared its orbit of other debris. A dwarf planet is a celestial body that orbits a star but has not cleared its orbit of other debris and is not a satellite of another planet.
What is the different between a planet and a dwarf planet?
the planet is one of the gases planet.. and the dwarf planets are small planets..
Suppose that you discovered a planet with 200 times the mass of Earth Is this planet more likely to be Terrestrial or Jovian?
A planet with 200 times the mass of Earth is more likely to be a Jovian planet rather than a Terrestrial planet. Jovian planets are typically composed of gases and liquids, while Terrestrial planets are rocky in composition like Earth. The high mass suggests a gas giant planet similar to Jupiter or Saturn.
Can planets form on another planet?
It is highly unlikely for planets to form on another planet. Planets typically form from material surrounding a star, not from existing planets. However, moons can form around planets through processes such as accretion or capture.
what is another name for the inner planet?
Terrestrial Planets, or Rocky Planets.
Which objects are also called gas giants?
Another name for gaseous planets is Jovian planet meaning Jupiter like.
Why are Saturn's moons not planets?
A moon is an object that orbits a planet. A planet cannot orbit another planet.
Could another planet move Uranus with its gravity?
All planets are affected by the gravity of other planets.
Is there snow or rain on another planet?
Maybe.....on Mars but not other planets
What is the meaning of interplanetary?
It means between planets, or from one planet to another.
What is a planet orbiting another planet called?
A planet orbiting another planet is called a moon or satellite. Moons are natural satellites that orbit planets in our solar system and beyond.
Is there another planet out there?
There are lot's of planets out there, 7 in our solar system alone. :P
What is a double planet?
Two planets orbiting each other. The barycenter of the planets must not lie within either planet but must be in free space between them. (The planets orbit a central point as opposed to a planet-sattelite configuration where one body orbits another)
Can earth bump into another planet?
NO. All the planets are in (more or less) fixed orbits.
What planet has the same size as another plant?
There are no planets that we know of that are exactly the same size.
