7 Theories of Formation Accretion - Creation is like that of planets
Capture - Some debris in space collided or got caught by larger planets. Fission - Matter thrown off a planet enters orbit around the planet Impact -Big body hits planet hard enough to eject matter, which cools and condenses into a moon.

8 Types of Moons Regular Satellites Irregular satellites
Orbit closely to its planet Orbit in the same direction of the planet Orbit in a circle Orbit distantly from its planet Orbit in the opposite direction of the planet Orbit in an ellipse

9 Other types of natural satellites
