Astronomer have found many of the major moons of the outer planets, which are Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, and Neptune. However, they have not found all the possible moons associated with each of these planets. For example Jupiter has 50 known moons, and Saturn has 53 moons that are known so far.
Its unlikely that all of the moons of the other planets have been found, but certainly all of the major moons have now been discovered. Some of Saturns named moons are only a few km across, so there are likely to be some more moons of this sort of size that have yet to be officially recognised.
Probably not. Uranus and Neptune are significantly farther away than Jupiter and Saturn and many of their moons may be rather small and possibly dark-colored, which would make them hard to see from Earth. The only probe to visit the planets was Voyager 2 in 1986 and 1989 respectively. The probe discovered 11 previously unknown moons around Uranus and 6 around Neptune, and both have had more moons discovered since.
Yes, all the outer planets have at least a dozen moons.
The inner planets are small, the outer planets are huge in comparison.The inner planets have rocky surfaces, the outer planets are gas giants.All of the outer planets have rings. None of the inner planets does.All of the outer planets have several moons, some of them quite large.
The inner planets, also called terrestrial planets, are closer to the Sun and have solid surfaces, while the outer planets, known as gas giants, are farther from the Sun and composed mostly of gas. Inner planets are smaller and have higher densities, while outer planets are much larger and have lower densities. Additionally, inner planets have few or no moons, while outer planets have numerous moons.
No, one cannot be sure.

Oh no, it is the outer planets which have the most moons. Terrestrial planets such as Earth have relatively few moons.
Yes. All four of the outer planets have multiple moons.

many moons.
the inner plants have a total of three moons. our moon, and two moons of mars. Phobos, and Deimos. but the out planets have many more moons. Neptune has the least amount of moons out of all the outer planets. it has 13 moons. but, the other outer planets have way more. Jupiter even has 63. of course, there are probably many more moons still to be discovered. well, not for earth and mars. in total, the outer planets must have at least 100 moons.
The inner planets do not have many moons because what could become moons is usually trapped by one of the outer planets gravitational pull, lost in the asteroid belt, or crashes into the inner planets.

Moons
Yes, there is water in outer space in the form of ice and vapor. It can be found in comets, asteroids, and even in the atmospheres of some planets and moons.
