What planet rotates in the opposite direction from other planets and moons?
Venus is the obviousexample, butUranus does this too. (Also some moons rotate in unusual directions.)
What planet has volcano and mountain in the solar system?
Mars, Earth, and Venus. There are moons of some planets with volcanoes, too.
why Pluto has a shape that is nearly round, and it orbits the Sun. It has five known moons. Why is it called a dwarf planet and not a planet?
A.It is too far from the Sun.B.Its orbit is not cleared of like-sized or larger objects.C.It is not large enough in size.D.It does not have rings.the answer is C
Why does Neptune have 13 satellites even though it is not orbited by human made objects?
Well, call me a scientist, satellites are sometimes known as ANYTHING that can orbit a rock, star or planet. So, Neptune does have eleven (or more, who knows) moons. Satellites are usually known as the man-made space telescopes, but they can be anything that orbits. Here, let me explain: Planets: Mercury, Earth, Venus... (you know) Stars: The sun Satellites: The moon, Hubble telescope, and other of Earths satellites
Why is Ganymede not considered a dwarf planet?
A dwarf planet is not considered a planet because it does not dominate its orbital path and cannot clear that path of debris.
Does Pluto's moons consider as planet's moons too?
Yes because they are small bodies orbiting it
Was there ever a question of life on planet Neptune or any of its moons?
No, nobody has speculated that there may be life on Neptune or any of its moons. The planet is just too far away from the Sun.
Are the rocks orbiting the sun or the planets too small to be classified as planet or moons?
Yes.

Venus is the obviousexample, butUranus does this too. (Also some moons rotate in unusual directions.)
How many moons did Galileo see?
The big one for the Earth, of course, which everybody sees. But Galileo was the first known person to see the four "galilean" moons of Jupiter; Europa, Callisto, Ganymede and Io. There are another 60 or so moons of Jupiter, but they are all much smaller; far too small to be seen in Galileo's early telescope!
What planet has volcano and mountain in the solar system?
Mars, Earth, and Venus. There are moons of some planets with volcanoes, too.
What is the main difference between moons and planets?
moons are usually lumps of rocks caught in a planets gravitational pull planets can be made of gas and have to be a certain(Pluto is no longer a planet because it is too small)
Tiny planets that orbit Mars and Jupiter?
Objects that orbit a planet are called moons or satellites, they are not planets. Both Mars and Jupiter have moons; Jupiter has a lot more than Mars does, and some of them are quite large, too. The two moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos, are relatively small, perhaps even tiny.
Why are the rings of Saturn made up of large rocks?
There are blocks of ice there too! (maybe from comets that have been captured) The rings are probably debris from impacts between asteroids and the moons of Saturn with the possibility that some moons have been entirely torn apart by impacts or gravitational pull from the mother planet and other moons.
Do Mar's moons have any atmosphere?
No. The moons of Mars are far too small to have atmospheres.
