The core of Neptune is primarily composed of rock and metal, with a small amount of ice and gas.
The core of Neptune is estimated to be about the size of Earth, with a diameter of approximately 15,000 miles.
The core of Neptune is believed to be a mixture of both solid and liquid materials, with the outer layers being liquid and the inner layers being solid due to the intense pressures at the planet's center.
The core of Neptune is relatively small compared to the cores of other gas giant planets, such as Jupiter and Saturn. However, it is still much larger than the Earth's core.
No, the core of Neptune cannot be seen from Earth as it is located deep within the planet's thick atmosphere. Only the outer layers of the planet are visible from Earth.
