It is currently impossible to name every planet in existence. The known planets in our solar system (listed with planet type and number and names of known moons) are as follows (in ascending order of orbital radius):
- Mercury (Terrestrial) [0]
- Venus (Terrestrial) [0]
- Earth (Terrestrial) [1, Luna]
- Mars (Terrestrial) [2, Phobos and Deimos]
- Ceres (Dwarf planet) [0]
- Vesta (Protoplanet) [0]
- Pallas (Protoplanet) [0]
- Jupiter (Gas giant) [66]
- Saturn (Gas giant) [62]
- Uranus (Ice giant) [27]
- Neptune (Ice giant) [13]
- Orcus (Dwarf planet) [1, Vanth]
- Pluto (Dwarf planet, binary) [4, Nix, Hydra, P4, P5]
- Charon (Dwarf planet, binary) [4, Nix, Hydra, P4, P5]
- Haumea (Dwarf planet) [2, Hi'iaka, Namaka]
- Quaoar (Dwarf planet) [1, Weywot]
- Makemake (Dwarf planet) [0]

Are moons satellites to planets?
yes moons are satellites to other planets
Do all planets and satellites lie the same gravitational layer?
Do all planets and satellites lie on the same gravitational layer?
Why are the planets considered satellites?
Planets are not satellites. The definition of satellite is any celestial body orbiting around a planet or star.
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.
Are the planets like moons to the sun?
The planets are satellites of the sun. The moons are satellites of the planets. The moons revolve around the planets captured by their gravity, while the planets revolve around the sun captured by its gravity and the sun.
What is the relation between sun and planets?

What are chunks of rock and metal that orbit between the planets?
Those are called satellites.
What planets in the Solar System have satellites?
All the planets have satellites, except Mercury and Venus.Jupiter
Can Gas planets have satellites?
Yes, any planet can have satellites. Gas planets actually have the most satellites due to their large masses.
What are moons to planets?
Moons are satellites of planets.
What is the source of gravitational pull on the planets?
The gravitational pull on all the planets are artificial satellites because the satellites orbit all the planets!
What makes planets and satellites?
after a star explodes, the star dust coalesces to form more stars, planets, and satellites
Differentiate between a Planet and a Satellite?
Satellite is a gadget used to observe information about the space and planets are worlds where different creatures live and the planets are reflecting light.
