This would not be common, but there's no reason to assume it's impossible. Perhaps a captured asteroid could begin this way, or maybe a planet would somehow turn on end (like Uranus), leaving its moon in the original orbit. I don't think there are any examples yet of this happening, but science ever marches forward.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Is there a moon that doesn't orbit a planet?
Yes, there are moons that do not orbit planets but instead orbit other celestial bodies like asteroids or dwarf planets. For example, some moons of dwarf planets in the Kuiper Belt do not orbit a planet.
Do the stars or dwarf planets orbit planets?
No. Dwarf planets orbit stars just like planets do. Stars orbit the center of their galaxy. An object orbiting a planet would be a moon.
What is a moon and how does it move around the solar system?
Moons are approximately spherical objects which orbit planets and are smaller than the planets that they orbit, although they are still relatively large objects (so an orbiting dust particle does not qualify as a moon). Since moons orbit planets, their motion around the solar system is controlled by the planets that they orbit; planets orbit the sun, and planets take their moons with them.
Which are the planet which rotate around the earth depends on the rotation of clock?
No planets in our solar system rotate around the Earth; they all orbit the Sun. The rotation of a clock has no influence on the motion of planets. The rotation of the Earth on its axis is what causes day and night.
List of planets in order that orbit the moon?
No planets are in orbit around the moon
Do all planets orbit the moon?
No. The planets orbit the sun.
How do moons orbit the planets?
the planets do not orbit the moon but the moon orbits the planets because of gravity and inertia
How the moon orbit the sun?
None. This is a trick question. Moons orbit PLANETS. Planets orbit the Sun.
Does the moon revolve round the planets?
Moons orbit planets Or rather moons and planets orbit their barycenter.
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.
Does the moon orbit Jupiter?
Not our (the Earth's) moon but Jupiter has lots of its own moons that orbit it.
How is a moon different from a planet?
Planets orbit stars, moons orbit planets. That is the only difference.
Is there a moon that doesn't orbit a planet?
Yes, there are moons that do not orbit planets but instead orbit other celestial bodies like asteroids or dwarf planets. For example, some moons of dwarf planets in the Kuiper Belt do not orbit a planet.
Is a moon considered a planet?
No, a moon is not considered a planet. Moons are natural satellites that orbit planets. Planets are celestial bodies that orbit a star and do not orbit other celestial bodies.
Do all planets has moon?
No, they don't. But most of our planets that orbit the sun do.
In the distant future...what will move synchronized with the Moon's orbit?
Earth's rotation should eventually be synchronized with the Moon's orbit.
