Regular Satellites

Regular Satellites is a class of natural satellites that orbit their parent planet in a nearly circular, prograde path, typically within the planet's equatorial plane, and are thought to have formed from the same primordial material as the planet, distinguishing them from irregular satellites that exhibit highly eccentric, inclined, or retrograde orbits indicative of captured origins.
