There are billions of planets and moons in the Star Wars galaxy.
My galaxy, the Milky Way (which is also your galaxy; I am sure that the person asking this question is not a visitor from another galaxy) has not been examined in enough detail to say even how many planets it contains, much less how many moons orbit those planets. But given that our own solar system has numerous moons, and there are billions of other stars in the galaxy which probably also have planets and moons, at a wild guess I could estimate possibly a hundred billion moons.
All of the ones we know about and have named are in our Galaxy.
It is not known. The Andromeda Galaxy contains about a trillion stars, many of which certainly have planets, though we don't know how many. Many of the planets likely have moons. All told, there are likely several hundred billion to several trillion moons in the Andromeda Galaxy.
yes moons are satellites to other planets
In our own solar system, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune have moons. Of the 300+ "exoplanets" that have been discovered (planets that orbit other stars) we would not expect to be able to detect moons from so far away. The probability that some of those planets will have moons is very great, however.
You mean in OUR galaxy?Earth has 1 moon.Jupiter has 63 moons.Saturn has 57 moons.Uranus has 27moons.Neptune has 13 moons.That's all I know.Did you know that Pluto is not a planet anymore? It has 3 moons.
Only Mars has two moons. The other planets have either one moon, no moons, or many moons.
It seems odd to postulate that the planets/moons in our galaxy were the result of collisions. If that were true, why have we not been witnessing recurring collisions-- with the creation of other new planets/moons?

We only know about the number of moons for our own solar system. Technology now lets us see very large planets around other nearby stars. We have found a few near Earth size. However currently we can not detect moons around planets in other solar systems.
Yes. Many Planets and dwarf planets have less than 10 moons. Planets: Mercury- 0 moons Venus- 0 moons Earth- 1 moon Mars- 2 moon Neptune- 8 moons Dwarf planets: Pluto- 3 moons and many other dwarf planets that i don't know how many moons they have.
