Triton is NOT the 'only' moon in the solar system with a retrograde orbit. Two of Jupiter's smaller outer moons also orbit their host planet backwards. It is true that these outer moons are probably captured asteroids, but they are moons now, and they orbit backwards.
@MrMittendorf It seems very wrong to me that astronomers would make no distinction between proper, planet size moons with almost circular around the equator of their host planets, and tiny irregular asteroids that just happen to orbit a planet in some irregulat orbit. They should've demoted the status of these so called "moons" before touching changing pluto's status.
@HarryNewittKrishna i did not claimanything, he said that "is Allah a planet?" all i did was reply saying that "allah" is our god, cause christians to not beleive in "allah"
@HarryNewittKrishna its a cultural affectation. Before Muslims used the word Allah it was used by pagan Meccans (meaning 'divine being', 'divine creator') so I have to say you are wrong about it being muslim. Any christians who do not believe Allah is God do not know history or language or at least intermediate spiritual communication. So. Where do we go from here? We are all linked to the planets in our solar system, that'll really blow your mind!
i have a question for you and hopefully you can answer.
How do scientists know that the planet is a gas giant or a solid ground? How do they know that they are right? I mean for the planet long distances away you just can't get there, how do scientists know what they are?
@pingshiyu: It's a confluence of evidence. You can figure out its density (which is quite low, which indicates much of it's volume has to be atmosphere), and spectrographically identify the gasses in the atmosphere. You watch the bands (which are faint, but still there), which tells you something about the depth of the atmosphere, and you compare it to the other gas giants. Putting it all together, it's a big gas ball with a relatively small rocky core.
@isreasontaboo: Yeah, it's on a couple of the teacher's shelves. Yahya sent it out free to lots of what he thought might be influential people. I imagine they keep it around to occasionally open it and show Yahya's fishing lure fossil.
is neptune the last planet that is considered right now...what happened to pluto and is it true that when all the planets come in a line there is a possibility of actually something happening on planet earth
@tauheedpanna1: Pluto got demoted to a dwarf planet when the AAU decided what exactly a planet was in 2004. No, there is no chance of anything happening except coincidentally; even with Jupiter out there, their gravitational influence is totally swamped by things like ht e moon.
If triton is orbiting counter to neptune's rotation, doesn't that mean it is slowly stealing angular momentum from neptune and actually slowing its spin?
@DFTBA10000: No. What might be happening is something like tidal locking which the moon is trying to impose on earth, but the effect is very weak, and the direction of the spin would cause the moon to close in rather than out.
Can anyone tell me why our moon only has a few inches of star dust on it compared to what earth has accumulated (a few metres i have been told?) this seems to show our moon is very young??????
The motion described is called a "retrograde" orbit. Triton is also quite interesting in that it is one of the few geologically active moons we know of, and is by far the farthest geologically active body we know of from the Sun.
It's likely that Triton was a kuiper belt object before being captured by Neptune, and if it hadn't been captured could have been flung into the inner solar system and become a comet instead!
Is the orbital dynamics of a retrograde orbiting moon different from that of a prograde moon; does its orbit decay more quickly? If a captured object, does its orbit naturally 'settle down' to one that is in the same plane as the planet's equator?
I suspect that a retrograde orbit *may* behave differently then a normal prograde orbit. I can't give you specific answers, but there certainly are tidal forces which is what drives the geological activity. The energy produced by this heating has to come from somewhere, and it comes from the angular momentum of both the planet and the moon.
So essentially the orbit of Triton and the angular velocity of Neptune will change over time, but because Neptune is so much more massive than Triton, I would think Triton will eventually spiral inward and crash into the planet, or spiral outward and be cast off either toward the sun or out of the solar system entirely. Perhaps someone on here knows more.
@Barnekkid: She was apparently talking about Neptune's moon and forgot the name, and then said the deleted expletive. Brady thought it was funny enough to leave it in.
How appropriate that a brewer should be the first discoverer of a Neptunian moon - ah! Neptune, the planet of drinks, drugs, and inebriation. And also of obfuscation - as we know from the story of Adams which you haven't touched on here. Just elementary astrology...
@4jonah yep, Neptune's clouds are methane. That's why Neptune is blue-green - methane clouds absorb red light and reflect the blue and green wavelengths back into space.
Sadly, Neptune is the last of the "official" planets of our Solar System. Pluto was downgraded to a Dwarf, along with some of the larger Kuiper Belt objects.
There are a few large rocky bodies beyond Neptune, and even beyond Pluto that orbit approximately in the ecliptic. I think the general drift is that these bodies are regarded as more Kuiper Belt objects because of their small size and eccentric orbits (Pluto actually crosses Neptune's orbit... the only such crossing known in the solar system).
@culwin: Not very likely. If there were it would have had gravitational influence on the outer planets that would be noticeable; that is how, at least in part, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto were discovered themselves.
Indeed, and even more so. Wine is the basis of the entire modern civilization. That's why ancient China didn't progress very much, because they could use porcelain for their tea, but Europeans needed glass for their wine ... and glass has basically been the root of any experiment, exploration and invention that exists today.
We owe everything to drunkards throughout history :P
you could say the same for beer.. nomads stoped being nomads and created vilages so they could farm grains, ie barley, possabley to make more beer as it was the safest thing to drink because of the boiling step use to mke it. wine on the other hand whould have been much later
never underestimate the power of beer!
