What planets orbit Neptune?
None. Moons orbit Neptune. Planets orbit the Sun
Out of all Neptune's moons which ones orbit within it's rings?
The moons that orbit within Neptune's rings are known as ring moons. The two ring moons of Neptune are Galatea and Larissa. They help maintain the structure of the rings through their gravitational influence.
Are there moons orbiting around the planet?
Yes, Neptune has 13 moons.In order of orbital distance from Neptune, they are :NaiadThalassaDespinaGalateaLarisaaProteusTritonNereidHalimedeSaoLaomedeiaPsamatheNeso
Triton and Nereid are moons orbiting which planet?
Triton and Nereid orbit the planet Neptune.
Triton one of Neptune's moons orbits Neptune in what direction?
Triton orbits Neptune in a retrograde direction, meaning it orbits in the opposite direction of Neptune's rotation. This is unusual compared to most moons in the solar system, which typically orbit their planet in the same direction as the planet's rotation.
What planets orbit Neptune?

What fraction of the moons of the planets orbit in the same direction that their planets rotate?
Approximately 75% of the moons in our solar system orbit in the same direction that their planets rotate. This is known as prograde motion. Moons that orbit in the opposite direction are called retrograde.
What is Pluto's origin?
Pluto was one of Neptune's moons that somehow escaped its orbit.
What is unusual about Triton?
Triton orbits Neptune in the opposite direction from all of Neptune's other moons and has a highly inclined orbit.
Triton and Nereid are moons orbiting which planet?
Triton and Nereid orbit the planet Neptune.
Triton one of Neptune's moons orbits Neptune in what direction?
Triton orbits Neptune in a retrograde direction, meaning it orbits in the opposite direction of Neptune's rotation. This is unusual compared to most moons in the solar system, which typically orbit their planet in the same direction as the planet's rotation.
What are Neptune's 13 moons called?
Caliban, Sycorax, Prospero, Setebos, Stephano, 1986U10, Larissa, Nereid, Naraid, Trition, Galatea, Proteus and Despina.
What moon has a retrograde orbit?
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.
