It happens all the time. Earth is the only planet with just one moon. Mars has two, Jupiter has 63 (probably more!) Saturn 15 or so, and Uranus and Neptune quite a few. Even tiny Pluto has three.
Xena, considered to be the 10th planet, was named after a character in the TV series Xena: Warrior Princess. As of 2014, only 1 moon is known to orbit the planet, and was named Gabrielle after Xena's faithful sidekick.
1). They orbit in the same around the sun, and as the sun. 2). Orbits of planets and their larger moons are in just about the same plane. 3). Almost all planets and moons rotate on their axes in the same direction as the planets orbit the sun.
Yes, for example Pluto is a dwarf planet and it has three moons. Eris also has a moon.Yes of the 5 named dwarf planets :-Pluto has 3 called Charon its largest then Nix and HydraEris has 1 called DysnomiaHaumea has 2 called Hi`ika and NamakaOnly MakeMake and Ceres have no moons

a planet is much larger than a moon. sometimes a planet can have many moons but a moon can only have 1 planet. the moon orbits the planet but the planet orbits a star (such as the sun) ect.
To orbit the planet Venus
The planet Mars has only two moons, Phobos and Deimos.
1 moon cycle is 28 days...365.25 days per year times 17 years divide by moon cycle equals 221.75 moons in a 17 year period....cls
Jupiter =] Jupiter is incorrect. It is considered a Gas Giant not a terrestrial planet. The answer is Mars with it's two known moons.
Natural satellites? none. Uranus - 27 known moons to date Jupiter - 63 known moons to date Saturn - 60 known moons to date Mercury - 0 Mars - 2 Earth - 1 Neptune - 13 known moons to date Pluto - 3 known moons to date Venus - 0 None because Mercury has no moons/satellites at all.
There are no planets in our solar system with exactly 8 moons. Mercury-0 Venus-0 Earth-1 Mars-2 Jupiter-63 Saturn- at least 61 Uranus-27 Neptune-13 Pluto has been downgraded in class from a major planet to a minor planet. It has 3 moons.
This depends on the planet. Some have none, like Venus; some have one, like Earth. Mars has two, Jupiter is a few dozen little ones plus four big ones, Saturn has a bunch. There isn't any single correct answer.
