Yes, the number of moons can affect the mass of a planet to some extent, as the gravitational pull between the planet and its moons can influence each other. However, the effect is usually minimal compared to the mass of the planet itself.
The general tendency is for a more massive planet to have more moons. However, the number of moons will also depend on the planet's previous history, so the situation is not entirely straightforward.
None in reality - BUT the probability of having moons goes up as mass of the central planet rises.
There's no reason to expect that the number of a planet's satellites ... natural or artificial ... should have any effecton the planet's mass.Wait ... I take that back. If people on earth launch an artificial satellite having mass of 1,000 kilograms,then as long as that satellite remains in orbit, the mass of the earth is reduced by 1,000 kilograms. Butthe loss is reclaimed as soon as the artificial satellite leaves orbit, even if it's incinerated in the atmosphereupon re-entry.A natural satellite has no effect on a planet's mass, so long as it doesn't fall in on the planet.
Density of a planet = (Planet's mass) divided by (Planet's volume)
Venus is the planet closest in mass to Earth, with a mass about 81% that of Earth.
