ReplyDeleteI have read from a book of mine that is about space & science, & some websites off the internet that Saturn is known as the "windy planet" & others say that Neptune is known as the "windy planet". That gets me to want to know if planets can share a nickname like the states of Minnesota & Alaska for both of them are known as the "north star state".
