What Are the Similarities Between Earth and Neptune?
Although they are quite dissimilar in almost every way, the Earth and Neptune do share some similar qualities such as gravity, color and orbit. With a gravitational pull that is only 14-percent stronger than the Earth’s, Neptune and the Earth have similar gravitational pulls. Both planets are blue and both orbit around the Sun.
Neptune and the Earth have more differences than they do similarities. Not only is Neptune’s diameter nearly four times larger than the Earth’s, it is 30 times further from the Sun.
