The geology of Triton encompasses the physical characteristics of the surface, internal structure, and geological history of Neptune 's largest moon Triton. With a mean density of 2.061 g/cm3, [1] Triton is roughly 15-35% water ice by mass; Triton is a differentiated body, with an icy solid crust atop a probable subsurface ocean and a rocky core.
Climate of Triton. Triton's southern polar cap and dark plume streaks. The climate of Triton encompasses the atmospheric dynamics, weather, and long-term atmospheric trends of Neptune 's moon Triton. Although the atmosphere of Triton is rather thin, with a surface pressure of only 1.4 Pa (1.38 × 10 −5 atm) at the time of Voyager 2 ' s flyby ...
Triton is the largest natural satellite of the planet Neptune. It is the only moon of Neptune massive enough to be rounded under its own gravity and hosts a thin but well-structured atmosphere. Triton orbits Neptune in a retrograde orbit —an orbit in the direction opposite to its planet's rotation—the only large moon in the Solar System to ...

As neutral hydrogen and nitrogen escape from Triton's atmosphere, they form a large neutral cloud in orbit around Neptune called the Triton torus. The modelled rate of escape of hydrogen, both atomic and molecular, is about 7 × 10 25 particles per second; nitrogen escape rates are inferred to be 2-3 times lower. [19]
