Answer:
Retrograde orbit is when an an object, like a satellite, goes around another object, like a planet, in the direction opposite the second object's rotation.
For example, Neptune's moon Triton goes around Neptune with a retrograde orbit. Rather than orbiting around Neptune in the same counter-clockwise direction Neptune rotates in, Triton orbits Neptune in a clockwise direction.
