Happy Birthday to you Neptune!! Lets all take this as an excellent reason to raise our glass and rejoice in celebration. I am currently enjoying a glass of fine red wine in honour of Neptune. I highly recommend others to join me. :) yay!! such a good moment in planetary history.
Smile, and enjoy the little things.... umm errr how big is Neptune again?? I might need a bigger bottle... lol!!

You will need a much bigger bottle.

Just for the fun of it... 1L of wine on earth would equal how many litres of wine on Neptune?
Valuable research for future colonists of course ;)

I can not argue with that logic IF we are only talking about the earths surface, indeed 1L=1L. We are assuming pressure and temperature remain constant. However, we are comparing the earth to neptune where P and T will most likely differ, I assume. Thus the volume of wine will be different on neptune then it will be on earth because the volume of liquid will change according to the differing forces of pressure and temperature now placed upon it. This is elementary science.

kelli's question was "1L of wine on earth would equal how many litres of wine on Neptune?" The answer can only be one. It's like 'what weighs more, a pound of lead or a pound of feathers?'.

As for the actual volume of wine in the liter on Neptune, it would be less than on Earth, perhaps about 85% as much, because it would be frozen solid, and thus expanded, (it's around -200 degrees Celsius on Neptune). The earth liter would weigh about 17 times as much, but its' mass wouldn't change, nor would the dimensions of a liter, being 100 cubic centimeters. Temperature and pressure do not affect distance measurements. This is elementary science.

So it might be like taking a very frozen, dense shot of alcohol; while being very potent, it still weighs mightly on the tummy.
Considering this, I think I'll stick to my earth wine.
Regardless, I'll still drink to celebrate Neptune's birthday. Perhaps it makes up for the loss of Pluto as a planet. Any idea when we should celebrate Pluto's bday??

I'll ponder that, over a glass of wine on Earth of course!

That sounds like a great place to start! No offense to Neptune or anything, but if I ever get the chance, I'd much prefer a glass of wine on Gliese 581 g:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gliese_581_g

Gliese 581 g (pronounced /ˈɡliːzə/), also Gl 581 g or GJ 581 g, is an unconfirmed extrasolar planet, orbiting the red dwarf star Gliese 581, 20.5 light-years from Earth in the constellation of Libra. It is the sixth planet discovered in the Gliese 581 planetary system and the fourth in order of increasing distance from the star. The discovery was announced by the Lick-Carnegie Exoplanet Survey in late September 2010, after a decade of observation.

Studies indicate the planet is situated near the middle of the habitable zone of its parent star, where temperatures are neither too hot nor too cold to sustain earth-like life. If it is a rocky planet, favorable atmospheric conditions could permit the presence of liquid water, a necessity for most known life, on its surface.

Who wouldn't enjoy a glass of wine on a planet like this? :)

A litre is a volume measurement - same size fits all! It's 1000 cubic centimetres which would be exactly the same size on the sun as it is here.
