Neptune has four natural satellites/moons. The largest one is Triton. Due to Triton's density, and its composition, astronomers theorize that Triton was not originally a satellite of Neptune. They theorize that Triton was captured by Neptune's gravitational pull, forcing it into an orbit around the planet. Triton is thought to be a combination of rock and ice. Its surface temperature is -245 degrees Celsius, and it has a thin atmosphere of nitrogen and methane.
