Does the number of moons effect the mass of a planet?
No. The mass of a planet affects the number of moons it has. More massive planets tend to have more moons.
Does the mass of a planets seem to effect how many moons it has?
Yes. The massive giant planets have far more moons than the less massive terrestrial planets.
Does the planet with the most moons get the strongest gravity?
In our solar system, at least, the planet with the greatest mass does happen to be the one with the most known moons. But I think the cause and effect work the other way. It's not the moons that give the planet strong gravity. It's the strong gravity of the planet that captures a bunch of moons.
Is moons gravitational pull renewable?
The moon's gravitational pull is the source of a renewable energy source. The moon controls the tides, that is where we get tidal energy. We often convert this into electricity.
HHow many moons do the planets have?
Answer: Pluto has 3 moons Neptune has 13 moons (some websites say it only has 8 moons) Uranus has 27 moons (some websites say it has 15 moons, 58, moons or 21 moons) Saturn has 47 moons (some websites say it has 18 moons, 30 moons or 61 moons) Jupiter has 63 moons (some websites say it has 16 moons, 28 moons or 60 moons) Mars has 2 moons Earth has 1 moon Venus has 0 moons Mercury has 0 moons
How does the moons orbit effect the earth?
The moons gravitational pull on the earth lifts the Earth's oceans causing the ebb and flow of the tides.
Where is the earth pulled on from the moons gravitational pull?
The oceans
What of Jupiters moons may have life on it?
Europa has frozen oceans.
Does how many moons effect how Pluto is not a planet?
7,566 moons
Does the number of moons effect the mass of a planet?
No. The mass of a planet affects the number of moons it has. More massive planets tend to have more moons.
What is the moons relationship with the sea?
The moon, being so close to us, has a gravitational pull on the oceans. So without the moon, the oceans may have risen up and killed us all
How does the moon affect the earth's oceans?
The moons gravitational pull is what causes tides.
How many oceans has the moon got?
The sun has no moons. Moons are natural satellites of a planet. The equivalent structure for suns is planets themselves.
Does the mass of a planets seem to effect how many moons it has?
Yes. The massive giant planets have far more moons than the less massive terrestrial planets.
How does the Moon's movement effect the tides?
The moons gravity 'pulls' the earths water creating a 'tide.'
Does ganymede have energy or sunlight?
Yes. Ganymede gets sunlight and is warmed on the inside by tidal energy from Jupiter and the other Galilean moons.
The part of the moon that causes tides?
The moons mass in general causes the tides. Mass has gravity, and the moon is massive enough for its gravity to pull noticeably on the oceans.
