The south pole of Hai King is the warmest

A group of international astronomers who just discovered the south pole of Neptune is much warmer than other places on the planet.

Glenn Orton, the author of the study, said that the temperature at the southern end of Neptune was about 10 ^° C higher than all other places on the planet.

An, present in the upper atmosphere of Neptune in hard form, escapes to the southern hemisphere and into space.

This finding is based on data from extremely large telescopes (VLT - under the management of European Astronomical Research Organization in the Southern Hemisphere - ESO) collected in Chile.

According to scientists, this temperature difference is consistent with the seasonal variation on the planet. A year of Neptune is 165 years long, and " summer " lasts for decades. This has greatly influenced the planet's climate system, making certain areas always have sunshine while others are permanently in the dark.

" This may be the reason why Neptune is the most powerful planet among the solar system planets. Sometimes the wind blows more than 2,000 km / h, " said the scientists from the Center. National scientific research (CNRS) of France said.

Neptune is known as the furthest planet in the solar system, located about 30 times farther away from the sun and the earth. Only 1 / 1,000 of the sunlight that the earth receives is reached with Neptune. Receiving too little sunlight thus significantly affected the planet's atmosphere.
