What is unique aboout mars?
mars is a very unique planet because it has 2 moons!
Does Saturn have 24 moons?
The planet Saturn has 53 named moons (not only 23 moons), and another nine which are still being studied.Many of the moons are very small: 33 are less than 10 km in diameter and 13 moons are less than 50 km.Many of the moons are named after Titans, giants, or minor Greek or Roman gods.Some of Saturn's moons are very large; the moon Titan is bigger than the planet Mercury.
Astronomers discovered a moon that does not orbit a planet?
that would ruin the very definition of a moon. a moon is an object that orbits a planet, so it's impossible.
Why does Uranus orbit the sun so slowly?
There are two main reasons why it orbits so slowly. 1. It is the only planet in the Solar system to orbit the Sun in an anti-clockwise direction. 2. It is very far away from the sun and does not travel very fast.
Does the orbit is very elliptical?
No the planet's orbits are not VERY elliptical but yes, they are somewhat elliptical. They are not just rotating in a circle. More like an oval.
What planet is hot and no moons but orbits very fast around the sun?
mecur
What planet has no moons and orbits the sun very fast?
That would be Mercury. Venus also has no moons, but does not move as fast as Mercury.
Why do some planets have no moons?
The process of planet growth from a solar nebular is a very chaotic one. The process of moon formation (or preservation in planetary orbits) is one of chance. Some planets will have no moons others will have many moons. However it is likely that the innermost planets will have the smallest number.
Could Saturns rings be broken?
Saturn's rings are made up of loads of rocks, particles, dust and ice lumps that are all in independent orbits around the planet. They could be broken up, and have been, by some of the moons that are also in orbit around the planet. The gravitational effects of these moons can make the gaps between the rings. To be totally broken up, a very large object would have to come into play to upset the orbits of the ring material. Such an event would be very rare.
Which planet has no atmosphere and no moons?
Mercury has no moons and no atmosphere. Venus has an atmosphere but no moons. Mercury probably has no moons and no atmosphere because it is very close to the sun.
Which planet has lesser moons?
Mars has two very tiny moons. Jupiter and Saturn also have lots of small moons, but they also have lots of big moons.
Are moons always smaller than planets?
The Moon has no natural satellites of its own. In theory it could (as planets have their own moons), but it is unlikely due to the precise orbital requirements. Most possible scenarios do not create stable orbits.
Is the moon the biggest planet in the world?
A moon is a satellite that orbits a planet. So the Moon (our moon) is not a planet but a moon.It is worth noting that, in our solar system there are bigger moons; but the Moon is the largest moon in proportion to the size of the planet. As a result, it has a more significant gravitational effect upon the Earth than do most moons. Of course, the moon governs the tides; but also it helps to stop rotational irregularities of the Earth from getting out of hand; and so the moon has been a very fortunate and calming influence for our planet.

What fraction of the moons of the planets orbit in the same direction that their planets rotate?
Most moons orbit their planet the same way the planet rotates. One of Neptune's moons is very different. That moon goes in the opposite direction of Neptune's rotation.
What are the two moons of the planet mars?
they are called Phobos and demos.both are irregular satellites,have a very low gravitational pull and orbit mars very fast. they must have been asteroids before have being caught by mars's gravitational pull
