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 moon that orbits backwards?
Neptune. It's largest moon Triton orbits Neptune a direction opposite to the direction Neptune orbits the Sun. So either Triton orbits Neptune in a clockwise direction whilst Neptune orbits the Sun in a counterclockwise direction.. or vice versa. Hope this is what you meant! :D ~Riley

What is counterclockwise spin of a planet or moon called?
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.
How can a planet leave the galaxy yet not lose its satellite?
Although rogue planet might escape a solar system or galaxy, its moon may remain since the moon is held in orbit by the planet, rather than a parent star. The moon will tend to go where the planet goes.
