What else can I help you with?
Are moons and satellites the same thing?
In astronomy, the term "moon" specifically refers to a natural satellite that orbits a planet, like Earth's moon. Satellites, on the other hand, can refer to both natural moons and artificial objects placed into orbit around planets. So, while all moons are satellites, not all satellites are moons.
Which planet has 21 satellites?
I don't know of any planet with exactly 21 known moons. The best answer is probably "Uranus" with 27 moons (natural satellites).
Do all inner planets have moons?
No, not all inner planets have moons. Mercury and Venus do not have any natural satellites, while Earth has one moon (the Moon) and Mars has two small moons (Phobos and Deimos).
How many satellites orbit Mercury?
Natural satellites? none. Uranus - 27 known moons to date Jupiter - 63 known moons to date Saturn - 60 known moons to date Mercury - 0 Mars - 2 Earth - 1 Neptune - 13 known moons to date Pluto - 3 known moons to date Venus - 0 None because Mercury has no moons/satellites at all.
Does the planet have moons?
There are 179 known moons in the Solar System. The planet which has the most natural satellites is Jupiter with 66. There are also 104 asteroid moons and as many as 58 satellites of potential dwarf planet candidates.Major Planets (171)Mercury does not have any natural satellites (moons)Venus does not have any natural satellites (moons).Earth has 1 natural satellite (moon) called 'The Moon' or Luna (asteroid Cruithne orbits the Sun in a 1:1 orbital resonance with Earth)Mars has 2 natural satellites (moons)Jupiter has 66 natural satellites (moons)Saturn has 62 (+1 unconfirmed) natural satellites (moons) and over 150 moonletsUranus has 27 natural satellites (moons)Neptune has 13 natural satellites (moons)Dwarf Planets (8)Ceres has noneOrcus has 1Pluto - Charon have 3Haumea has 2Quaoar has 1Makemake has none"Snow White" (2007 OR10) has noneEris has 1Sedna has none

Are moons satellites to planets?

What are moons?
Moons are satellites. They orbit planets.
What are moons to planets?
Moons are satellites of planets.
Are all the spacecrafts that go to moon called satellites?
No - satellites do not go to the moon. Satellites orbit planets/moons/objects with gravity in space.
Can moons be satellites?
Yes. "Moons" are _natural_ satellites, as opposed to the artificial satellites that we build here on Earth and launch into space on rockets.
Are moons satellites?
Yes but they are called natural satellites
The object that orbits most plantes are called?
Moons orbit most planets. Moons are celestial bodies that revolve around a planet in a predictable path due to gravitational forces. They vary in size and composition and play a significant role in shaping the planets they orbit.
Are moons satalight?
Moons are natural satellites, yes.
What are the satellites of Mercury?
no, mercury and venus are the only two planets that do not have moons.
