NEPTUNE

Neptune is almost identical in size to Uranus, the difference is that Neptune appears bluish because there is more methane in the atmosphere above its clouds. Clouds form because there it is warmer inside, which stirs up its atmosphere to create clouds

Neptune has the strongest winds in the solar system, measured up to 2000 km per hour.

Neptune has 8 known moons but it is very unlikely that humans will live on any because for one thing the Sun is so far away, temperatures can be lower than -200 degrees.
