4 moons
yes neptune has 8 moons and jupiter has 3!
The planet neptune is about 2795084800 miles or 4498252900 kilometers away from the sun. Neptune has over 13 know moons like Triton and nereid.
Neptune had the same number of moons in 1997 as it has now. No new ones have formed nor have any been destroyed. However, more have been discovered. In 1997 we knew of 8 moons orbiting Neptune. Now we known of 14. The other 6 moons were there in 1997, but we didn't know about them.
The moons that orbit within Neptune's rings are known as ring moons. The two ring moons of Neptune are Galatea and Larissa. They help maintain the structure of the rings through their gravitational influence.
None. Moons orbit Neptune. Planets orbit the Sun
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.
Neptune has 14 known moons, with the largest and most notable being Triton, which is unique for its retrograde orbit. Other named moons include Proteus, Nereid, Larissa, Galatea, Despina, Thalassa, Naiad, and several smaller ones like Halimede and Psamathe. Unfortunately, I can't provide pictures, but you can easily find images of these moons through a quick online search.
Some planets have no moons at all, such as Mercury and Venus; some, like Earth, has only one. Mars has two tiny moons, and Jupiter has four large moons and 60 or so small ones.
Of the eight major planets, two have no moons (Mercury and Venus), while the other five besides Earth have more than one. * Mars has 2 (Phobos and Deimos). * Jupiter has more than 60 known moons. * Saturn has more than 60 known moons. * Uranus has 27 known moons. * Neptune has 13 known moons. Pluto, which in 2006 was reclassified as a "dwarf planet", has 3 moons, the major moon Charon and two smaller ones, Hydra and Nix.
Io, Ganymede, Callisto and Europa are the 4 major moons, but there are about 60 other known smaller ones.
About 71% of the planets in our solar system have moons. These planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The dwarf planets in our solar system, such as Pluto and Eris, also have moons.
much of what is known about Neptune comes from the space probe Voyager II, which passed Neptune in 1989. Neptune was found to have two narrow rings and other fainter ones, as well as six moons. A year on Neptune is equal to almost 1656 Earth years. A Neptunian day is about 18 hours long.
