Did you know: Winds on Neptune can blow faster than 1,200 miles an hour?

Neptune's winds can blow faster than 1,200 miles per hour (2,000 kilometers per hour). In fact, Neptune has the fastest winds in our solar system, reaching speeds of up to 1,500 miles per hour (2,400 kilometers per hour).

Explanation:

Neptune's winds are so strong because there are no mountains, valleys, or continental boundaries to slow them down.
The winds are confined to layers in the planet that are no more than 600 miles (1,000 kilometers) deep.
The winds move eastward and westward at different velocities.
The winds are strong enough to tear through anything in their path.
The winds are supersonic, meaning they travel faster than the speed of sound.
Neptune's winds are so strong that a human would not survive if exposed to them.
