Neptune's Unique Heat Output
Neptune emits about two and a half times more heat than it receives from the sun, which is quite unusual considering its distance from the sun. The exact reason for this is still debated among scientists, but it may be due to factors such as the age of Neptune, the influence of its moon Triton, or other internal processes.
