many moons.
Oh no, it is the outer planets which have the most moons. Terrestrial planets such as Earth have relatively few moons.

The inner planets of our solar system have few or no moons. Mercury and Venus have none, Earth has one, and Mars has two.
The inner planets are having few or no moons at all, and the planet are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. And the puter planets are part of the sun mass and have no solid surface, they are also called the gas giants, and the planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. ----------------------------------------------------------ps. hi:) It's thought that during the solar system's formation, when the planets were still proto-planets, the sun "switched on" and the solar wind blew away the lighter, gaseous component of the inner planets, leaving the heavier core. The outer gas planets are too far away to have this happen.
Its unlikely that all of the moons of the other planets have been found, but certainly all of the major moons have now been discovered. Some of Saturns named moons are only a few km across, so there are likely to be some more moons of this sort of size that have yet to be officially recognised.
Made of rock and have few or no moons.
Saturn is the planet that has visible rings and lots of moons. There are a few other planets.
Inner planets (up until Mars): - are mostly composed of dense rocky material with high melting points; - have small diameters; - have high tempeatures; - take few time to make a complete turn around the sun; - have few or no moons; - all have impact cracters; Outer planets: - are mostly composed of gases; - have very large diameters (compared to the inner planets); - have low temperatures; - take a long time to make a complete turn around the sun; - generally have several moons; - no impact craters known (so far since no one as made it to the rocky core of these planets).
The inner: small, few moons, made of rock and metal the outer: large, lots of moons, made of gases
Many. In the early solar system, there were many more planets than there are now. Most hit joined into larger planets and a few were captured and became moons.
Mercury and Venus have no moons, the earth has one, mars has a few, and the gas planets have dozens
The planet Venus has no moons at all.
