It doesn't count as a planet because it revolves around Earth, and therefore is a satillite of Earth, the planet. Satillites revolve around the planets, and the planets revolve around the sun.
The moon is actually not a planet. The moon is a natural satellite, in orbit around a planet.
Here is a quick list of every planet that have natural satellites and the number of named satellites.
Earth, 1
Mars, 2
Jupiter, 49
Saturn, 52
Uranus, 27
Neptune, 13
and are little dwarf planet Pluto, 3
The first criterion in the definition of planet is that it must orbit a sun or the remnant of a sun. While Titan does orbit our Sun, it does so indirectly.
Titan is under the direct gravitational control of its planet, Saturn, and not the Sun.
The reason Titan is not considered a planet is that it isn't the dominant object in the neighbourhood of its orbit around the Sun.
It is not large enough and does not orbit the Sun, it orbits Earth.
A planet orbits around the sun. A moon orbits around a planet.
"To be classified as a planet, an object has to go around the Sun, and if it also goes around something else, it must be significantly larger than that secondary object. When, as in the case of the Moon, the other object (the Earth) is much larger, the object is considered a satellite of the larger object, not a planet."
The moon is a satellite not a planet.
Venus is the only planet that does not have a moon.
No the moon is not a planet, it is a natural satellite of Earth.
The moon Titan has an atmosphere. Titan is a moon for the planet Saturn and is also the largest moon for the planet.
The Earth is to the Moon as a planet is to its moon. So, if we're talking about a satellite orbiting a planet, then the planet would be analogous to the Earth, and the satellite would be analogous to the Moon.
Europa is a moon of the planet Jupiter.Europa is a moon of the planet Jupiter.Europa is a moon of the planet Jupiter.Europa is a moon of the planet Jupiter.
Earth is the closest planet the moon, as it is our planet's moon and orbits Earth.
The moon is a satellite not a planet.
No. The moon orbits the planet which means the planet is larger than the moon.
A moon must orbit a planet, or it isn't a moon, it's a planet.
A planet orbits a star such as the sun. A moon orbits a planet.
THE MOON ISN'T A PLANET IT'S A MOON The closest planet to the Sun is Mercury.
A planet orbits a star whereas a moon orbits a planet.
No. A moon orbits around a planet. A planet orbits around the sun.
Venus is the only planet that does not have a moon.
No the moon is not a planet, it is a natural satellite of Earth.
Neptoon is the planet that has the moon Larissa.
