There are a lot of people who cannot help but become fascinated with Triton because this is one of the largest moons that can be found in the solar system. This is also different from all the other moons. It follows a rotation that is different from Neptune which is the planet where it currently rotates around. Triton is known to have a thin atmosphere.

Its atmosphere is mostly composed of nitrogen but it also has some methane. According to some of the photographs taken on Triton, it has some ice volcanoes. There are times when it may eject some frozen materials from its own surface. Triton is considered to be a “young” moon compared to the other moons in the solar system.
