Are there any moons in the asteroid belt if so how many?

There are a number of small asteroids that act as "moons" for somewhat larger asteroids. But only one asteroid, the dwarf planet Ceres, is as large as the larger moons of the major planets. In some cases, there are co-orbiting pairs of asteroids, one not vastly larger than the other. Notable Main Belt asteroids that have small moons are: * 243 Ida, an oblong asteroid about 59 km long, has a small moon named Dactyl (about 1.6 km diameter). * 22 Kalliope, about 235 km long and 80 km in radius has a relatively large moon, Linus (about 28 km). * 87 Sylvia, about 385 km long has two moons Sylvia I-Romulus and Sylvia II-Remus, each about 11 km in diameter.


Why doesn't asteroids have moons?

Some asteroids do in fact have moons. The asteroid Ida has a moon, Dactyl, which was found when the space probe Galileo flew past on the way to Jupiter. Two asteroids that are roughly the same mass would be a binary asteroid, while a large disparity in mass means the smaller one is a moon of the larger one.
