QUESTION:
Are there more storms on Earth or Neptune?

ANSWER from Bryan Miller on June 7, 1996:
I am not an expert on planets, but I believe that Earth has many
more storms than Neptune.  The Earth's proximity to the sun and
the existence of continents and oceans makes for very active
weather here.  Heat from the sun evaporates the oceans, drives
the water cycle, and produces air currents.  Differential
heating of the oceans and the continents and the topography of
the continents also helps produce storms.  Neptune is much
farther from the sun and does not have a solid surface, so it
would be harder to produce weather there.  I believe that the
Voyager probes took pictures of a few large storms on Neptune,
but the number of storms is much less than on Earth.
