Their orbital shapes range from nearly perfectly circular to highly eccentric and inclined, and many revolve in the direction opposite to Jupiter's spin or retrograde motion. The tiny moons on Jupiter orbit both inside and outside of where the outer moon's orbit, which puts it at risk for collision.
