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.

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 planet Pluto have a satellite?
No, it is not true that Pluto has 7 satellites. Pluto actually has five known satellites which are Charon, Styx, Nix, Kerberos, and Hydra.
What planet does Pluto orbit?
Pluto doesn't orbit any planets, it orbits the sun. But if you mean what planet does Pluto share a orbit with is Neptune. Pluto sometimes is closer to the sun than Neptune because it cuts into Neptune's orbit.
Is neptunes orbit more circular than earths orbit?
No Because no! the correct answer is no
What is name the satellite of Pluto?
Pluto has 5 known satellites. The major satellite is Charon. Charon is large enough relative to Pluto that it can be considered the secondary member of a binary dwarf planet system, as the two objects orbit around a common center some distance above Pluto's surface.Two smaller moons discovered in recent years were named Nix and Hydra and another two remain unnamed.

Communication satellites are lifted into orbit by rockets.
