What is the minimum number of moons that must be orbiting a planet for the moons to have an orbital resonance?
For moons to have an orbital resonance, there must be at least two moons orbiting the planet. Orbital resonance occurs when the orbital periods of the moons are related by a ratio of two small integers, such as 1:2 or 2:3.
Which planet has 13 moons and has an orbital period of 60190 earth days?
Neptune has 13 known moons and an orbital period of about 60190 Earth days.
What are the orbital speeds of Jupiter's Galilean moons compared to earth's moon?
There are about 63 known moons of Jupiter but the Galilean moons are the 4 moons visible and Ganymede ,the largest found by Galileo Galilee in January 7 1610.The orbital speed of the Jovian moons vary where the Jupiter's magnetic field is very strong.Only a mean speed can be used for comparison.The four moons and their orbital speed compared to the orbital speed of Earth's moon are:Jovian Moons Orbital speed/ Orbital speed Ratio(km/s) (Earth's moon)1. Io orbital speed 2.75 km/sEarth's moon orbital speed 1.03 km/s Ratio 1: 2.672.Europa orbital speed 2.187 km/sEarth's moon orbital speed 1.03 km/s Ratio !: 2.123. Callisto orbital speed 1.732 km/sEarth's moon orbital speed 1.03 km/s Ratio 1: 1.684.Ganymede orbital speed 1.305 km/sEarth moon's orbital speed. 1.03 km/s Ratio 1: 1.27
What is another name for the moons revolving around a planet?
Orbital Bodies.
What is the Orbital period for Deimos?
The orbital period of Deimos, one of Mars' moons, is approximately 30.3 hours.
What is the length of the moons rotation?
Same as it's orbital period, about 27.32 days.
Will the moons beyond the orbit of callisto have larger or smaller periods than callisto?
Moons beyond the orbit of Callisto would have larger orbital periods than Callisto because they are farther from Jupiter and will take more time to complete one orbit around the planet. This relationship follows Kepler's Third Law of planetary motion, which states that the orbital period of a moon increases as its distance from the planet it orbits increases.
How many moons does Uranus have?
As of 2011, Uranus has 27 known moons, which are named after characters from the works by William Shakespeare and Alexander Pope.The 5 largest moons (boldface) were the earliest discovered. The 13 inner moons are involved with the 13 known rings of Uranus.

Masses of the planets are easiest to determine if?
the planet has moons or satellites orbiting around it. By observing the orbital motion of the moons, scientists can calculate the mass of the planet based on the laws of gravity and motion.
Does the Earth's moon have any moons?
Yes! A moon is an astronomical object (or natural satellite) that orbits a larger planet. Earth has 1 moon.Some dwarf planets and even asteroids may have moons, although orbital dynamics seem to work against moons having moons of their own.
How many sub planets of Jupiter had been discovered?
As of now, 79 confirmed moons of Jupiter have been discovered. These moons are divided into several groups based on their orbital characteristics, with the largest being the Galilean moons: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto.
Are the moons on Jupiter always full?
No, they will have phases similar to our own moon bit on different timescales due to their varying orbital periods.
