Are some of the moons and satern?
Saturn does have several moons, if that's what you mean.
How do Saturn's many moons affect its rings?
The gravity of the moons helps to give the rings their distinctive shape. Some of the moons, due to volcanic activity and gravitational friction from Saturn, spew out tons of material into space that then adds ice and/or methane to the rings. Beyond that, some moons around ringed planets actually "shepard" the debris rings to maintain the ring-like structure. The two Saturn moons Prometheus and Pandora are so called "shepard moons" that maintain Saturn's faint "F" ring. =============== Orbital resonances
Does each planet have its own moon?
No, some planets have several moons, whilst many have no moons at all.
What are some questions about Saturn?
there are a lot of question about Saturn but, one is does Saturn have rings? I will let you respond to me back for the answer.
HHow many moons do the planets have?
Answer: Pluto has 3 moons Neptune has 13 moons (some websites say it only has 8 moons) Uranus has 27 moons (some websites say it has 15 moons, 58, moons or 21 moons) Saturn has 47 moons (some websites say it has 18 moons, 30 moons or 61 moons) Jupiter has 63 moons (some websites say it has 16 moons, 28 moons or 60 moons) Mars has 2 moons Earth has 1 moon Venus has 0 moons Mercury has 0 moons
What are some moons of Saturn?
The moons of Saturn are numerous and diverse, ranging from tiny moonlets to the enormous Titan. Saturn has 61 moons with confirmed orbits, 53 of which have names, and most of which are quite small. There are also hundreds of known moonlets embedded within Saturn's rings.For a complete listing of the moons, and associated data see the Wikipedia article in the reference.

How many satellites are their in Saturn?
Saturn has 62 identified moons, 53 of which are named. Some of the moons are "shepherd moons" within the ring system. The largest is Titan, which is bigger (though with less mass) than the planet Mercury.
Does each planet have its own moon?
No, some planets have several moons, whilst many have no moons at all.
Who discovered saturns four moons?
The planet Saturn has 62 moons. Giovanni Domenico Cassini discovered four of them. Other people who discovered some of Saturn's moons are Dione, William Herschel, and Christiaan Huygens.
Which planet do most of the large moons revolves around?
Both Jupiter and Saturn have a large amount of moons, some of them quite large.
Why won't Saturn ever have more and larger moons?
There is no reason to believe that he "won't ever" have more moons. On the contrary, it is quite possible that the gas giants - like Saturn - have gravitationally captured some asteroids, converting them into their moons - and this may happen again.
Are all the moons made of the same stuff?
No. The composition of the moons differs, in some cases considerably. For example, Earth's moon is mainly rock, but some of the moons of Jupiter and Saturn appear to be mainly ice.
What planet has shepherd satellites?
Saturn. These moons affect Saturn's rings by their gravity and so they sort of "shepherd" the rings in some places.
