∙ 12y agoNeptune has a surface gravity of 11.15 m/s² or 1.14 g(1.14 times the surface gravity on earth).
Therefore, if you weighed 100lb on Earth, you would weigh 114 lb on Neptune.

∙ 14y agowell first you should know that Triton is a moon of Neptune. it is a moon that scientists are mostly interested in. Triton has the coldest known surface temperature in the solar system and its at -235 C or you could say -391 F!
Thanks for reading!
I hope this helped!
My name is Elie and i hope you enjoyed this :)

What is Triton's energy source?
the sun
What is the line called between gravity and no gravity?
Sorry; there is no line between gravity and no gravity. Gravity is everywhere.
Why is gravity called gravity and not anything else?
Because, the person who discovered gravity was named Gravity Dickakiss
What is powered by gravity?
gravity
What is the possessive form of gravity?
The possessive form of the noun gravity is gravity's.Example: Gravity's reliability is the basis of my invention.
Does Triton have a stronger gravity the Earth?
No. Surface gravity on Triton is only about 8% what it is on Earth.
Lane Triton Zero-Gravity Rocker Recline good chair?
Lane® Triton Zero-Gravity Rocker Recliner is this a good recliner
Can Triton crash Neptune?
Yes. Some scientists believe that Triton's orbit will decay completely and Neptune's gravity will tear the moon apart. Ofcourse.this changes the question to " Will neptune crash Triton? ".
If a 150lb guy goes to Triton how much would he weigh?
Triton's gravity is about 8% of Earth's. So it is reasonable to assume that he would weigh about 12lbs.
How much light does Triton the moon have?
it gets about 25% of the light from the sun
How was the moon Triton formed?
Triton probably initially formed as a dwarf planet much like Pluto and was later captured by Neptune's gravity. It formed by accretion as chunks of rock, attracted to each other by gravity, came together to form a planetoid. The rocky components of this new world sank to the center as they were denser than the ice.
Which motion of Triton suggests that it formed independently of Neptune?
The retrograde orbit. The orbit of Triton is what's known as a retrograde orbit. This means that the moon orbits in the complete opposite direction of the planet's rotation. Triton is the only large moon discovered in our solar system so far that does this. Scientists and astronomers are not sure why this happens. One theory is that the moon condensed this way from original material in the early solar system. Another theory, and the most widely accepted theory, is that Triton was not originally a moon of Neptune, that it was formed elsewhere and was captured by Neptune's gravity. As a matter of fact, the surface features of Triton and the size of Triton are very similar to the dwarf planet Pluto. From time to time, Pluto does cross Neptune's path of orbit, so it is very likely that Triton was either a dwarf planet itself or a moon of Pluto before Neptune's gravity forced it to switch orbits.
What planet has a moon that revolves backwards?
One of Neptune's moons, Triton, revolves backwards. The orbit of Triton is what's known as a retrograde orbit. This means that the moon orbits in the complete opposite direction of the planet's rotation. Triton is the only large moon discovered in our solar system so far that does this. Scientists and astronomers are not sure why this happens. One theory is that the moon condensed this way from original material in the early solar system.

What does the retrograde motion of neptune's moon Triton indicate about its origin?
Because Triton revolves around Neptune opposite its rotational direction it is considered retrograde. This indicates that it was likely a planetoid that was captured by Neptune's gravity rather than having formed in orbit around Neptune.
How does the Neptune's moon Triton differ from that of other satellites?
well first Triton is so close to neptune that neptunes gravity is pulling it closer and eventually Triton will explode and become a bright ring. And it is the only moon in the solar system that circles in a direction opposite to the planets rotation. The reason for nerieds erratic orbit is tritons backwards orbit. It disrupts many of the moons also
Does Triton have ice caps?
No, Triton does not have ice caps. Instead, the entire surface of Triton is ice.
Who are the parents of triton?
Poseidon & Amphrite are the parents of Triton
