The number is probably quite high. Right up to the point where the satellites are literally bumping into each other. Don't forget Earth has thousands of artificial satellites but only one natural one. We're surrounded.

No, outer planets have more natural satellites. Earth has 1 moon and Mars has 2. That's all for the inner planets. The total number of moons for the outer planets numbers over 100.

(If you mean man-made satellites, then Earth has many more than all the other planets combined.)

No. Two of the inner planets, Mercury and Venus, don't have any moons. Earth and Mars have one moon and two moons respectively.

Saturn has at least 53 named moons. If you include its rings it has many, many thousands.
