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.

∙ 15y agoMoons are always smaller than the planet that they orbit (move around). A smaller body always orbits around a larger body rather than the other way around because the larger body has more gravity. However, not all of the moons are smaller than all of the planets. There are seven moons in our solar system, including our own moon, that are larger than Pluto. Jupiter's moon Ganymede, the largest moon in the Solar System, and Saturn's moon Titan are both larger than Mercury and Pluto. Earth's moon, Jupiter's moons Callisto, Io, and Europa, and Neptune's moon Triton are all larger than Pluto, but smaller than Mercury.

However, for the sake of clarification we define planet as natural satellite orbiting the star and the secondary satellite orbiting the primary satellite is then the moon.

When humans go to Mars or the moons of Jupiter, it will be fairly easy for us to see the Earth. From Mars, the Earth will look very much like Venus.

∙ 15y agoNo, moons are a mass that orbits a planet in a set orbit.

∙ 15y agono, everything revolves around the moon, including all the planets in our solar system and their moons

Why are moons always smaller then the planets they orbit?
A smaller body always orbits around a larger body rather than the other way around because the larger body has more gravity
Which of the following is usually the smallest A planets B comets C asteroids D moons?
its the comets are smaller than planets, moons, and asteroids. In order of size, usually comets < asteroids < moons < planets
Why do planets have moons?
Planets have moons because matter is attracted by gravitational force to objects with a greater mass than them.That is why moons orbit planets and are never larger than their host planet.
Do any planets have less then 10 moons?
Yes. Many Planets and dwarf planets have less than 10 moons. Planets: Mercury- 0 moons Venus- 0 moons Earth- 1 moon Mars- 2 moon Neptune- 8 moons Dwarf planets: Pluto- 3 moons and many other dwarf planets that i don't know how many moons they have.
Do all jovian planets have eight moons and rings?
All of the Jovian planets in the solar system have rings and more than eight moons. Neptune has the fewest known moons of the giant planets; : 14.
Do many people think that moons are smaller than planets?
Generally speaking moons are smaller than planets. The only exceptions are the two largest moons in this solar system, Ganymede and Titan, which are larger than Mercury, the smallest planet in the solar system.
Why are moons always smaller then the planets they orbit?
A smaller body always orbits around a larger body rather than the other way around because the larger body has more gravity
Why this statement isn't always true the bigger the planet the greater the number of 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.
Which of the following is usually the smallest A planets B comets C asteroids D moons?
its the comets are smaller than planets, moons, and asteroids. In order of size, usually comets < asteroids < moons < planets
What are smaller than planets but bigger than moons and found in an orbit around the sun?
tibor
Why do the planets go round the sun and not the moon?
Because the moons are the ones revolvimg around the planets (only some planets have moons, not all). And besides, moons aren't in the center of the solar system. They're even smaller than the planets.
How many planets the size of earth can fit in the moon?
none cause the moons smaller than earth
Does the terrestrial planets have more moons than the outer planets?
Oh no, it is the outer planets which have the most moons. Terrestrial planets such as Earth have relatively few moons.
What is a moon and how does it move around the solar system?
Moons are approximately spherical objects which orbit planets and are smaller than the planets that they orbit, although they are still relatively large objects (so an orbiting dust particle does not qualify as a moon). Since moons orbit planets, their motion around the solar system is controlled by the planets that they orbit; planets orbit the sun, and planets take their moons with them.
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.
Why do planets have moons?
Planets have moons because matter is attracted by gravitational force to objects with a greater mass than them.That is why moons orbit planets and are never larger than their host planet.
Do rock planets or gas planets have more moons?
The gas planets have more moons. Of all the gas planets non has fewer than 14 moons. Of the rocky planets, none has more than two. Mercury and Venus have none at all.
