	Astronomy Answers: Universe Family Tree: Moon
		The distribution of the known moons over the planets is shown in the following table, which also displays for each planet the last year of the discovery of a moon (per 2006-05-25).
		This table shows the moons that are on average the furthest from or the closest to the center of their planet, measured in units of 1000 km.
		The orbits of moons that are far enough away from their planet are influenced by the gravity of the Sun.

	[No title]
		Thalassa was a savage old pagan whose habitual watchful secretiveness relaxed into roaring melody in his occasional cups; in neither aspect could he be considered a suitable companion for the budding mind of a girl, but he loomed in her thoughts as a figure of greater import than her father or mother.
		Thalassa repaid the indignity of capture by a course of treatment which had long since subdued his wife to a state of perpetual fear of him--a fear which deepened into speechless shaking horror when he stormed out at her in one of his fl rages.
		Thalassa sat in a straight-backed wooden chair listening to the wind and rain raging outside, and occasionally glancing at his wife, who remained absorbed in her patience.

	Natural satellite
		Most moons are assumed to have been formed out of the same collapsing region of protoplanetary disk that gave rise to its primary.
		Several moons are thought to be captured foreign objects, fragments of larger moons shattered by large impacts, or (in the case of Earth's moon) a portion of the planet itself blasted into orbit by a large impact.
		Most moons in the solar system are tidally locked to their primaries; an exception is Saturn's moon Hyperion, which rotates chaotically due to a variety of external influences.

	Tide Summary
		The relative distance of the Moon from the Earth also affects tide heights: When the Moon is at perigee the range increases, and when it is at apogee the range is reduced.
		The Moon's gravity differential field at the surface of the earth is known as the Tide Generating Force.
		Because the Moon's tidal forces drive the oceans with a period of about 12.42 hours (half of the Moon's synodic period of rotation), which is considerably less than the natural period of the oceans, complex resonance phenomena take place.

	Neptune
		In addition to these craters, there are dark plumes or geysers, which are formed when sunlight warms the material beneath the frozen nitrogen, causing it to vaporize and burst out through the ice.
		It seems that either this moon has a dark spot on its surface or that it is irregularly shaped and is tumbling chaotically similar to Hyperion, Saturn's moon.

	On This and Other Moons
		If the sizes of the moons are expressed relative to their primary (the planet they orbit) there are still more surprises.
		Being close to Jupiter (it is the innermost of the Galilean moons) the planet's massive gravity stretches the moon by some 100m and locks its rotation so the same side always faces the planet.
		But nearby moons Europa and Ganymede peturb it when they pass, making the tidal bulges shift and heating the Io's interior with the friction of the flexing.

		Each of the moons of Neptune is named after the nymphs and minor sea deities of Greek and Roman myth, in keeping with Neptune's (and Poseidon's) title in mythology as the lord of the sea.
		Also, much like Earth's moon, Triton is tidally "locked" with Neptune, meaning that the time it takes to make one rotation is the same as the time it takes to orbit the surface of Neptune.
		Most of these moons are only a few dozen to a few hundred kilometers in diameter, leading scientists to believe that they may have simply been objects captured in Neptune's orbit.
