Most likely there are. But just detecting the presence of the 'extra-solar' planets
is so delicate and difficult, we don't have the ability yet to detect the presence of
their satellites.

Are there moons orbiting the other planets in the solar system?
Mercury and Venus do not have moons. Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune all have moons. Jupiter has 64 as of 2011.
Is there more than one moon orbiting around your planet?
In terms of the earth, there is only one moon orbiting around it. In terms of other planets, some planets, like Mars or Venus and Murcury have no moons. Other's like all the Gas Giants have more than one moon orbiting it.
Are moons satellites to planets?
yes moons are satellites to other planets
Are there any other moons in the solar system?
There are 176 known moons that have been discovered so far in our solar system. These are small bodies that orbit a planet or dwarf planet. 169 moons orbiting six planets (includes Earth's Moon) 7 moons orbiting three dwarf planets There are other bodies that orbit the Sun, or that orbit dwarf planet candidates. There are as many as 58 satellites of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) and around 104 asteroid moons (orbit around larger asteroids).
Did Galileo find any other planets?
No. He discovered great moons, which, had they not been orbiting planets might have been considered planets themselves, but the first new planet since antiquity was Uranus, discovered by Sir William Herschel.
Which planet has the most planets orbiting it?
In our solar system, the dwarf planets Pluto and Charon orbit each other around a common center of gravity located in the empty space between them. As the only binary planets in our solar system, that makes Pluto and Charon share the title as having the most planets orbiting another planet. Planet like objects that orbit planets, without them orbiting each other, are called moons. The title for the planet with most moons, is passed back and forth between Jupiter and Saturn, as new (to us) and ever smaller moons are discovered. Currently, Jupiter holds the title with 63 moons.
Do the sun have a moon?
Yes the sun does have moons, and we are on one of them now. A moon is just an object orbiting another and so since we and the other planets are orbiting the sun we are the sun's moons.
Are there moons orbiting the other planets in the solar system?
Mercury and Venus do not have moons. Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune all have moons. Jupiter has 64 as of 2011.
Is it true that Kepler's laws holds only for the six planets known in his time?
No. It holds for other planets, and for any other situation where one objects orbits another - for example, moons orbiting planets, stars orbiting a black hole, etc.
Does the sun haves moons?
The Sun has 8 major planets orbiting it, as well as asteroids, meteoroids and comets. However, it can never have a moon because moons are objects that orbit a planet, not a star, like the sun.
Is there more than one moon orbiting around your planet?
In terms of the earth, there is only one moon orbiting around it. In terms of other planets, some planets, like Mars or Venus and Murcury have no moons. Other's like all the Gas Giants have more than one moon orbiting it.
Can exosolar planets possess life or moons?
Moons, yes. Life, quite possibly. While every planet is unique, the planets in other solar systems are not so different from the planets in ours so as to not have moons. We have even detected possible evidence of moons, though it is very hard to verify across interstellar distances. Life is somewhat harder as only one known planet (Earth) has life, so we do not know that the probabilities are. We have found planets orbiting other stars which may be in the right temperature range to support life, but we can't actually tell if they can.
In which planets or moons have a human-built ship has landed and taken pictures?
Our Moon, Mars and Saturn's moon-Titan Other photos have been from satellites orbiting planets/moons, but only on these have we had the time/money/inclination to actually land on.
Where are the planets found?
Orbiting stars. We know of eight planets orbiting our Sun, and we know of over 300 planets orbiting other stars.
Are moons satellites to planets?
yes moons are satellites to other planets

Are the any moons on Venus?
There are no moons in orbit around Venus. It might help you to know there are also no moons orbiting Mercury either. Earth has only one moon, and all the other planets in our solar system have multiple moons. Even the dwarf planet Pluto has three moons.
