Which characteristics is common to the four outer plants in our solar system?
They are all gaseous planets with rings systems and many moons.

How many moons are in all your planets?

Astronomers have found all the moons of the outer planets?
Astronomer have found many of the major moons of the outer planets, which are Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, and Neptune. However, they have not found all the possible moons associated with each of these planets. For example Jupiter has 50 known moons, and Saturn has 53 moons that are known so far.
Is a planet with many moons an inner or outer planet?
In our own solar system, the only planets with many moons are outer planets. It seems likely that if there were a large planet close to a companion star, the star's gravity would strip away any orbiting moons. However, we have no way of detecting the moons of any extrasoloar planets.
Could do the inner planets have lots of moons?
The inner planets do not have many moons because what could become moons is usually trapped by one of the outer planets gravitational pull, lost in the asteroid belt, or crashes into the inner planets.
Which planets has less then 3 moons?
All of the inner planets; Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars have less than 3 moons, while all four outer gas giant planets have many moons.
What do most planets have revolving around them?
Most planets have at least one moon (or natural satellite), with the exception of Mercury and Venus, which have no moons. The larger outer planets have many moons, Jupiter alone has over 60 named moons.
What planets have the most amount of moons?
The four outer planets have many moons each, while the inner planets only have three between all of the, two for Mars and one in orbit around the Earth. The planet with the most is Jupiter, with 63 confirmed moons.
How many moons do the suns have?
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.
How many moons do the outer planets have?
Jupiter 63 known moons, Saturn 60 known moons, Uranus 27 known moons, Neptune 13 known moons and Pluto (no longer classed as a planet) 3 known moons.
How many planets have two moons?
