Jupiter has four large satellites, but they are not the four largest in the solar system.
Jupiter has the largest, 3rd, 4th, and 6th largest satellites.
Saturn has the 2nd largest and Earth has the 5th largest satellite.
(Naturally I mean "natural satellites", otherwise called moons.)

What are the major satellites in our solar system?
The Earth's Moon, Jupiter's four "Galilean" satellites, Saturn's "Titan", and Neptune's "Triton".
Which planet in solar system has lots of moons?
The planet Jupiter, which is the largest planet in the solar system, also has the most moons (which is logical, because the large size of Jupiter means that it also has the strongest gravitational field, and can therefore attract satellites more strongly). All of the four gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) have lots of satellites. The inner planets have fewer satellites.
Which are the four biggest satellites of Jupiter?
Jupiter has 63 satellites/moons. But it has 4 large one known as: 1. Ganymede (largest in the Solar System) 2. Io (most geologically active body in the Solar System) 3. Europa (has ice and rocks on its surface) 4. Callisto (contains many craters)

Do Jupiter has moons?
Jupiter has at least 63 known moons. The largest four are called Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. These four moons are called the Galilean satellites because they were first seen in 1610 by the astronomer Galileo Galilei. Ganymede is the largest moon in the Solar System, with a diameter of 3,260 miles.
Is Neptune the largest gas planet?
No. Neptune is the smallest of the four gas giants in the solar system. Jupiter is the largest.
