Neptune's 7th moon Triton is in a retrograde orbit
and although it isn't a moon Venus is in a retrograde orbit
The only large moon in the solar system with a retrograde orbit is Triton, the largest moon of Neptune.
Neptune's moon Triton has a retrograde orbit, meaning it orbits in the opposite direction to the planet's rotation. This is unique among the major moons in our solar system.
Titan is not one of them, but there are several moons that revolve in retrograde orbits.The most well-known is probably Triton, the largest moon of Neptune.Triton is the only large moon in the solar system to have retrograde motion.
The counterclockwise spin of a planet or moon is called retrograde rotation. This means the object is rotating in the opposite direction of its orbit around another body, like a planet rotating against the direction of its orbit around the sun.
No, it rotates prograde - counter-clockwise.
When a moon's orbit is backwards, it is referred to as a retrograde orbit.
The only large moon in the solar system with a retrograde orbit is Triton, the largest moon of Neptune.

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.

Retrograde motion in moons typically suggests an irregular orbit that is opposite to the direction of the planet's rotation. This is often an indicator of a captured moon rather than one that formed alongside the planet.
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.
The counterclockwise spin of a planet or moon is called retrograde rotation. This means the object is rotating in the opposite direction of its orbit around another body, like a planet rotating against the direction of its orbit around the sun.
None of the eight planets in the solar system has a retrograde orbit. However, two, Venus and Uranus, have retrograde rotation around their axes. As to whether any exoplanet has a retrograde orbit or not, that is unknown since there is little or no knowledge of their rotation.
retrograde
Triton is the only known large natural satellite to orbit its planet in retrograde (backwards).
No, it rotates prograde - counter-clockwise.
