It is called a retrograde orbit.
When a moon's orbit is backwards, it is referred to as a retrograde orbit.
Asteroids orbit the sun. Moons orbit planets and planets orbit the sun. So you could say the moons orbit the sun. However, moons are kept in their orbits by the gravity of their planet and planets are kept in orbit by the gravity of the sun. So in that sense, moons do not orbit the sun.
63 known moons orbit Jupiter.
natural satellites(moons) or man made satellites
Bodies that orbit planets or moons are called satellites.
The same as all the other major planets : counterclockwise as viewed from the "north" or "top" of the solar system. (This is of course an arbitrary but necessary distinction.)
Yes
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.
Moons or satellites
Asteroids orbit the sun. Moons orbit planets and planets orbit the sun. So you could say the moons orbit the sun. However, moons are kept in their orbits by the gravity of their planet and planets are kept in orbit by the gravity of the sun. So in that sense, moons do not orbit the sun.
63 known moons orbit Jupiter.
The objects found orbiting the planets are called satellites, or moons. They range from Mercury and Venus, which have no moons, to Jupiter and Saturn, which have over 50 moons.
natural satellites(moons) or man made satellites
Moons are satellites. They orbit planets.
27 moons orbit Uranus that we know of
Bodies that orbit planets or moons are called satellites.
