      it’s very similar to ours: ours is 9.8m/s^2 and neptune’s is 11.2 m/s^2
      although it is much bigger, it is made of gasses so it is less dense

      As Lidunka says, the gravity on Neptune’s surface is a teeny bit more than on Earth, about 10% more. That’s enough so that it would take more effort for you to move around, but it wouldn’t cause you too many problems if you had to live there. (The extreme temperatures on Neptune would probably be a much bigger problem!)
