Earth has only 1 moon what about the other planets?
Mercury and Venus do not have any moons. Mars does; its two moons are called Phobos and Diemos. The planets with the most moons are the gas giants. Of these Jupiter has the most with 63 moons. There are four big ones (called Ganymede, Io, Callisto and Europa) and the rest are tiny. Saturn has 60, Uranus has 27 and Neptune has 13. Most of these moons are very small - often just several kilometers wide. Some dwarf planets have moons of their own. Pluto has three moons called Charon, Nix and Hydra. Haumea has two and Eris has one.
