Bugaboo...Hey, What's Happening?
What a cool question for an attrractive gal to ask.
Well check this out...
Neptune is a huge ball of water-ice, and gases, many, many times the size of Earth. The hydrogen rich atmosphere is supplemented by Methane and Ammonia gases and heated by an internal heat source which is lacking on Uranus.
Neptune has a mantle of soupy gases (Hydrogen, Methane, and Ammonia) which is probably thinner than that found on Uranus.
There is a hot slushy core of water, ammonia, methane, and various other substances in liquid form.
The Inner Core is possibly slightly larger than Uranus's and most likely a sphere of rock and ice.
Neptune has a series of five rings which were discovered by Voyager 2 on its fly-by visit in 1989. The rings are named
Adams, Arago, Lassell, Le Verrier, and Galle (the inner most ring). These rings are made up of bolder sized chunks of ice and dust mixed. The Adams ring is broken up into segments most likely by the Moon Galatea which is in the nearby area and has collected up most of the nearby matter with its own gravity.
There are 13 Moons on Neptune (possibly more). Five of them had not been named when my reference book was printed. Triton is the largest of the moons, and it acts crazy in that it orbits neptune in the reverse direction from all the other moons and at a high angle to neptune's equator. Some of the other moons have strange orbits and are possibly confused by Tritons pull as it swings around the huge planet.
The three largest moons are Larissa, Proteus, and Triton.

It rotates on it's axis, I think that's neptune, may be Uranus. It has a rocky core (most people think it's a gas giant). it has volcanoes that spew black methane.

It's atmosphere is made of methane gas, making it appear blue, and also, it has a ring around it. Very undefined, but it's there. It's also tilted a bit off axis.
