That depends on what you consider "near".

It's a fact that the moons in the solar system are heavily concentrated in conjunction with the

outer planets. Starting at the center of the solar system and working outward: by the time

you've passed and inventoried the neighborhoods of four planets ... Mercury, Venus, Earth,

and Mars ... you've only counted three moons.

But then, at the next two planets ... Jupiter and Saturn, you add over 120 more!

How many moons are in a sun?

The concept of "moons in a sun" is not scientifically defined, as suns (like our Sun) are stars and do not contain moons. Moons orbit planets, while stars are at the center of solar systems. In our solar system, there are eight planets, each potentially having its own moons, but the Sun itself has no moons.


If a planet has 62 moons would it be dark or light?

it depends if its near a sun. remember, MOONS AND PLANETS ARE NOT LIGHT SOURCES. they simply reflect the suns light. therefore, if they are not near enough to a sun, the moons would be dark, as would the planet, cos there is hardly any light to reflect. (oh and there is no known planet with 62 moons.)
