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
It is the only large moon in the Solar System with a retrograde orbit, which is an orbit in the opposite direction to its planet's rotation.
yes moons are satellites to other planets
Scientists hypothesize Triton's surface is made up of frozen water and other materials, absorbs heat from the sun.
The network of satellites operated and maintained by the USA is the Global Positioning System (GPS). There are other systems, comprised of other constellations of satellites, and operated and maintained by other countries.
Saturn
Neptunes largest moon is called Triton. Proteus is one of the 13 other moons, which are much smaller.
Neptune has a moon that revolves in the direction opposite all its other moons. This moon is called Triton and is the largest moon of Neptune.
Not without a very good telescope. Triton, Nereid and Larissa might be viewable, but the other 10 would only be viewable with a ground based observatory.
It is the only large moon in the Solar System with a retrograde orbit, which is an orbit in the opposite direction to its planet's rotation.
Since Neptune was the Roman god of the sea, most of its moons are named after other mythological figures associated with the sea (for example, its largest moon is Triton, which was the name of one of Neptune's sons in Roman mythology).
A 'Triton Electric Shower' is a shower that can draw on a cold water supply and heat it on demand. It differs from other showers in the fact that it can use cold water and heat it itself, instead of relying on a boiler to heat the water first.
Neptunes Triton. Triton's icy surface reflects so much of what little sunlight reaches it that the moon is one of the coldest objects in the solar system, about -240 C (-400 F). It's the only large moon in the solar system that circles its planet in a direction opposite to the planet's rotation (a retrograde orbit), which suggests that it may once have been an independent object that Neptune captured. The disruptive effect this would have had on other satellites could help to explain why Nereid has the most eccentric orbit of any known moon - it's almost seven times as far from Neptune at one end of its orbit as at the other end
Neptune has 13 known moons. These are Naiad, Thalassa, Despina, Galatea, Larissa, Proteus, Triton, Nereid, Halimede, Sao, Laomedeia, Psamathe, Neso. However only one of them (Triton) is what a 5-year-old would recognize as a 'moon'. The mass of Triton accounts for 99.5% of the total mass orbiting Neptune making it far larger than any other natural satellites of Neptune. Also it is Neptune's only spheroidal moon, with the other moons being similar in appearance to asteroids.
There is no birth myth for Triton, son of Poseidon, or other "mermen" named for Triton after having fish tails and male upper bodies.

Triton orbits Neptune in the opposite direction from all of Neptune's other moons and has a highly inclined orbit.
One type of artificial satellite is called a navigation satellite. Two other kinds of artificial satellites are called weather satellites and communications satellites.
