Some planets have moons because space dust or gases were stuck in the gravitational pull of a planet, and eventually built up together to form small planet-like formations we now call room. Planets that are larger typically have more planets (Saturn, for example). Ask on!
Yes, Jupiter and Saturn each of 60 some moons, while Uranus and Neptune have around twenty. The dwarf planet Pluto has three moons.
No, some planets have several moons, whilst many have no moons at all.
No. Only some moons are bigger than Mercury, being the smallest planet.
Answer: Pluto has 3 moons Neptune has 13 moons (some websites say it only has 8 moons) Uranus has 27 moons (some websites say it has 15 moons, 58, moons or 21 moons) Saturn has 47 moons (some websites say it has 18 moons, 30 moons or 61 moons) Jupiter has 63 moons (some websites say it has 16 moons, 28 moons or 60 moons) Mars has 2 moons Earth has 1 moon Venus has 0 moons Mercury has 0 moons
Within the Solar System, Earth is the only planet with one moon - The Moon.
The process of planet growth from a solar nebular is a very chaotic one. The process of moon formation (or preservation in planetary orbits) is one of chance. Some planets will have no moons others will have many moons. However it is likely that the innermost planets will have the smallest number.
moons
the most common are stars, moons, planets, and some others are asteriods, comets, and meteors
No, some planets like Mercury and Venus don't have any moons. Earth has one moon, Mars has two moons, and the outer planets have lots of moons. Jupiter has more than 60.
Because the moons are the ones revolvimg around the planets (only some planets have moons, not all). And besides, moons aren't in the center of the solar system. They're even smaller than the planets.
Yes, and they do. Not all of them have confirmed moons but some do. Pluto, for example, has four known moons.
Some get by asteroids others (like Earth) hit hit with a meteoroid and the rock that fly out into space form together to make a moon
Some have moons, some have atmospheres, some have rings, some have nothing.
The sun has 8 or 9 major planets and thousands of smaller objects orbiting around it. Some of the planets have many moons. (eg Neptune has 13) It can have moons but so far all of the moons are to close to the planets to get caught in the sun's orbit.
Yes, Jupiter and Saturn each of 60 some moons, while Uranus and Neptune have around twenty. The dwarf planet Pluto has three moons.

Well, dwarf planets are much much smaller than planets and some people may confuse some of Jupiter's largest moons as dwarf planets but because some people may look at the moons and confuse them with dwarf planets (i know someone who dose) !!
