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.
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).
Why are objects in solar system different from each other?
Our solar system consists of the sun, the planets, their moons, and a variety of smaller objects. The sun is at the center of the solar system, with other orbiting around it. The force of gravity holds the solar system together.
How many planets does Neptune have?
Neptune is the 8th Planet from Sun in our solar system. Now, let me rephrase your question slightly. How many moons does Neptune has? Because Neptune is a planet and can only have moons or satellites orbiting it. Answer to this question is would be 13. In other words, Neptune has 13 known moons orbiting and there could be more which are not seen by man or discovered yet.
What is a group of planets and their moons that orbit a central star?
A group of planets moving around a star is called a solar system. Planets outside our solar system are called exoplanets. Despite the difficulty of detection, many hundreds have been discovered recently, orbiting other stars.
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.

What is a system of planets and other object orbiting the sun?
The Solar System
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.
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.

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.
