No, orbital motion has virtually no friction, and it is
maintained by angular momentum. As Isaac Newton pointed out, an
object in motion tends to remain in motion.

The earth's rotation and orbital motion is responsible for the
days and nights on the planet. This movement is also responsible
for the changes in the seasons.

The tendency for an object in motion to remain in motion is
called inertia of motion.

It is the orbital velocity (speed and direction) or orbital
speed (rate of motion).
It is usually stated as "average orbital speed" but is actually
"mean orbital speed."

If you mean the largest moon of the Neptune - its orbital period
is -5.877 d (retrograde motion)
