Moons of Neptune - Characteristics

Characteristics

The moons of Neptune can be divided into two groups: regular and irregular. The first group includes the six inner moons, which follow circular prograde orbits lying in the equatorial plane of Neptune. The second group consists of all other moons including Triton. They generally follow inclined eccentric and often retrograde orbits far from Neptune; the only exception is Triton, which orbits close to the planet following a circular orbit, though retrograde.
