What is the rotation of a 5.4 Triton v 8 gas engine?

What is the rotation of a 5.4 Triton v-8 gas engine?
clockwise
What planet has a satellite called Triton?
The satellite Triton is on the planet Neptune. It is the largest of Neptune's moons. Neptune has 13 moons. It orbits in the opposite direction if its planet's rotation.
What is largest Neptune moons?
Neptune's largest moon is Triton and its smallest (as of 2010) is Psamathe.
Why do astronomers believe Triton may have been a planet that was captured by Neptune?
It orbits Neptune in the opposite direction of Neptune's rotation.
Neptune moon Triton is bigger than Pluto?
Triton is the largest of Neptune's 13 moons. It is unusual because it is the only large moon in our solar system that orbits in the opposite direction of its planet's rotation - a retrograde orbit
What type of rotation does Neptune have?
No. The rotation of Neptune is not retrograde. Triton, Neptune largest moon, has a retrograde orbit.
What moon revolves around its planet in retrograde orbit?
Triton, the largest moon of Neptune, is the only large moon that orbits its planet in a retrograde motion. That is to say that its orbital direction is in the opposite direction to the planets rotation. Triton is thought to have been an object 'captured' from the Kuiper belt.
How does the orbit of Neptune's moon Triton by Charon that of other satellites?
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 Triton have ice caps?
No, Triton does not have ice caps. Instead, the entire surface of Triton is 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.
