because the smaller planets have less mass, which means less gravity, so they won't attract any moons.

The counterexample to the statement would be Mars. Mars has two moons, but it is smaller than Earth, which has two moons, and Venus, which has none. While it is no longer considered a planet, it is worth noting that Pluto, which is smaller than any of the planets, has five moons.


Does the mass of a planet seem to affect how many moon it has?

Yes, the mass of a planet can influence the number of moons it has. A planet's gravity can capture objects like satellites and smaller bodies, increasing the likelihood of having more moons. Additionally, larger planets with stronger gravitational pull generally have more moons compared to smaller planets.


What are facts about the 2 moons of other planets?

For a start, "the" 2 moons is wrong - there are much more than 2 moons.The thing that moons have in common is that they orbit around a planet, and that they are less massive (and smaller) than their respective planet.

What causes a planet to have moons?

Moons are formed when a celestial body, such as a planet, captures another smaller object through gravitational attraction. Another way moons can form is through the debris left over after a collision between two celestial bodies.
