Answer:

Triton is the largest of Neptune's 13 moons. It is unusual because it is the only large moon in our solar system that orbits in the opposite direction of its planet's rotation―a retrograde orbit. Scientists think Triton is a Kuiper Belt Object captured by Neptune's gravity millions of years ago.

Why do scientists think earth's core contains iron?
fgiga [73]
The overall specific gravity of the earth is much higher than the specific gravity of crustal rocks which means the earth is about twice as heavy as the rocks on the surface would suggest. Iron meteorites are thought to have the same composition as the average earth, and the meteorites contain a lot more iron than the Earth's surface rocks.
