well, all planets have different numbers of satellites... if you start from first planet Mercury, it has no natural satellite. Venus is also free of that.. Earth has one big that we can see and its called Moon or Luna(Greek for Moon) but astronomer say that earth has more than one, probably seven or some say two. Mars has two, Jupiter has 63 known satellites to date (including biggest satellite in solar system Ganymede) , Saturn has 60 to 62, Uranus has 27 known satellites, Neptune has 13 known satellites and Pluto has 3 (Not a planet anymore though)

How are planets different from satellites?
simple! planets are huge or normally bigger than satellites in terms of mass, area and size. planets normally have a atmosphere like the earth. planets revolve around the sun whereas satellites revolve around the planet. both of them are non luminous object which means they reflect the light from the sun. satellites are usually fragments of a planet when it was forming.
