Six - His sons Poseidon (Neptune), Hades (Pluto) and Zeus (Jupiter) and his daughters Hera (Juno), Demeter (Ceres) and Hestia (Vesta).
All but Zeus were swallowed by Cronus but released by Zeus.
Names in () are the Roman translation of the names, ones not in () are Greek
Yes, you are partly correct......he had more sons and daughters. Like Chiron the Centar...however, I do not know the rest
Cronus is the father of Zeus. Cronus swallowed his own children. But Rhea saved Zeus and hid him from Cronus so he wouldn't swallow him. Rhea gave cronus a rock wrapped in cloth instead of Zeus so Cronus swallowed the rock.
Cronus didn't hide any children. It was his father, Uranus, who hid Cronus' brothers, Hecatonchires and Cyclopes.
Why did cronus swallow his children? Let ME explain this better. Cronus was told that the next son he would have would kill him and rule the gods. So, cronus ate his 5 children. But his wife hid the last child and gave cronus a rock instead of Zues and when he was old enough he had metis create a potion that would make cronus spit up the children he had swallowed. After the gods/godesses were out of cronus they all fought him. The titans helped cronus. The ttans were sent to tartarus where they would be punished forever and Cronus was killed.
Cronus and Rhea had the following gods as children: Zeus, Hades, Poseidon, Hera, Hestia and Demeter, so Cronus and Rhea had 6 children.

Cronus
Cronus was a titan. He had children which were gods whom he ate to save his power. Luckily his wife saved one son, Zeus, who later made Cronus vomit up the other children.
It wasn't cronus who got castrated it was his father Uranus. It was the plan of Gaia.She did not want her children to suffer so she told cronus what to do.
Hades and his siblings were the children of Cronus and Rheia. Since Cronus heard that his children would destroy him, he ate them after Rheia gave birth to them. When Zeus was born, Rheia gave Cronus a rock to eat, and he threw up the children he had already consumed. One of these upchucked children was Hades.
