Why Does Neptune Have 11 Satellites

Why does neptune have 11 satellites. Satellites are usually known. So neptune does have eleven or more who knows moons. Neptune is too far from earth for orbiting man made satellites to be deployed now. Over a century passed before the discovery of the second natural satellite nereid neptune s outermost moon neso which has an orbital period of about 26 julian.
Well call me a scientist satellites are sometimes known as anything that can orbit a rock star or planet. And these do not require human interference. It s just a term for an orbiting object man made or otherwise. The gas giant planet neptune in our solar system has 14 known moons including the strange backwards orbiting triton.
Neptune has 14 natural satellites not 11. Triton is a satellite of neptune. Earth s moon is a satellite of earth. The term satellite refers to anything that orbits another body.
Neptune is the eighth and farthest known solar planet from the sun in the solar system it is the fourth largest planet by diameter the third most massive planet and the densest giant planet it is 17 times the mass of earth slightly more massive than its near twin uranus neptune is denser and physically smaller than uranus because its greater mass causes more gravitational compression of.
