Why do some planets have more moons than other planets?

All matter has a gravitational pull. Even you have a gravitational pull too. It is just that since your mass isn't quite as big as the Earth, your you can't see things moving towards you. When you jump, the Earth pulls you down. THat is cause the Earth is considerably bigger than you and you are attracted to the Earth. Some planets have more moons because of their mass. Since they are bigger and more massive, they pull much more stuff around them to orbit.
