Which solar system has 62 moons?
There is only one Solar System; it is the star system with the star named Sol (our solar system). It is technically incorrect to refer to any other star system as 'a solar system.' Our star system is is also the only star system we know intimately enough (in fine enough detail) to know to have moons. It is not currently possible for us to detect moons orbiting extrasolar planets (planets orbiting other stars). There are 336 objects classified as moons in the Solar System.
