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.

What planet revolves around the sun in an orbit between that of Venus and Mars?
That would be the planet known as earth.it is our planet earth
The curved path in which a planet revolves around another body?
it is called an orbit. <b> YAYY </b> :]]]]]]]
Define orbit and axis of the planets?
The orbit of a planet is the path it takes on its journey around the sun. The axis is an imaginary line through the planet from pole to pole about which the planet revolves or spins.
Which planet has a moon that revolves in the direction opposite all its other moons?
Neptune has a moon that revolves in the direction opposite all its other moons. This moon is called Triton and is the largest moon of Neptune.
How is the moon different from a planet?
the moons orbit the planet but the planets orbit the sunMoons revolve round planets. Planets revolve round suns.___________AlternateThe truth is that planets orbit round their moons, or more precisely a planet and its moon(s) orbit around their barycenter, the center of gravity of the planet-moon system. This is true for the earth, but this orbital motion of earth is less noticeable than the orbital motion of the smaller moon. I think the real difference between planets and their moons is relative size.
What is it called when a planet revolves around the sun?
An 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.
Which planet has a retrograde orbit?
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.

Why the moon is not a planet?
The moon is not a planet because it orbits Earth, not the sun. To be considered a planet an object must orbit a star.

The orbit of a planet is the path it takes on its journey around the sun. The axis is an imaginary line through the planet from pole to pole about which the planet revolves or spins.
Why do planets have phases similar to lunar phases?
The planet Venus has phases similar to the moon's phases because of its orbit around the sun, inside the orbit of the Earth. Because of its particular orbit, an observer from the earth is?æable to see various phases.
Which planet has a moon that revolves in the direction opposite all its other moons?
Neptune has a moon that revolves in the direction opposite all its other moons. This moon is called Triton and is the largest moon of Neptune.
What is it called when a planet appears to move bacwards in is orbit?
"retrograde motion"
What planet revolves around the sun once?
All planets continuously revolve ( or 'orbit') around the Sun. No planet orbits the Sun just once.
What does the retrograde motion of neptune's moon Triton indicate about its origin?
Because Triton revolves around Neptune opposite its rotational direction it is considered retrograde. This indicates that it was likely a planetoid that was captured by Neptune's gravity rather than having formed in orbit around Neptune.
