Much like Jupiter and Saturn, Neptune has an internal heat source, radiating more energy than it receives from the Sun, thus making surface winds to reach extremely high speeds. In fact, Neptune has the fastest clocked wind speed than any other gas planet in the solar system! ... Neptune's surface - courtesy Dave Seal...

An interesting feature on Neptune is the existence of high altitude clouds on the surface. The clouds are long and bright, much like the cirrus clouds on Earth and cast shadows on lower cloud decks. The clouds are usually 48 to 160 kilometers wide (30 to 100 miles wide) and extend for thousands of miles.

Neptune's surface is almost identical to Uranus'; a combination of ice and glaciers, rocks and craters make up Neptune's surface with about 15% hydrogen and little helium. Neptune also has great geysers of liquid nitrogen.
