Quick Answer

Neptune has the strongest winds, with speeds reaching roughly 2,100 km/h (about 1,300 mph). Those winds are far faster than anything measured on the other planets.

The Full Story

Neptune is widely regarded as the windiest planet in the Solar System. Observations from Voyager 2 and later telescopes have measured jet streams and storms with winds reaching about 2,100 km/h, or around 1,300 mph. Even though Neptune receives very little sunlight, it still has a surprisingly active atmosphere. Scientists think the planet's internal heat helps drive its extreme weather.
