Triton, Neptune's largest moon, is relatively dark, with a surface that reflects only about 5-15% of the sunlight that hits it. Its surface is primarily composed of nitrogen ice, with darker regions containing tholins, which are complex organic molecules formed by the interaction of sunlight with methane. This low albedo contributes to its overall dim appearance in the solar system. Despite its darkness, Triton has some bright regions due to the presence of frozen nitrogen and other ices.
