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.

Astronomers have found all of the moons of the outer planets?
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.
Do all outer planets have moons?
Yes, all the outer planets have at least a dozen moons.
Do all planets have the same number of moons?
No, some planets like Mercury and Venus don't have any moons. Earth has one moon, Mars has two moons, and the outer planets have lots of moons. Jupiter has more than 60.
Astronomers have found all the outer planets moons explain?
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.
What are 3 differences between the outer and inner planets?
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.
Would you think astronomers might have found all of the moons of the outer planets?
No, one cannot be sure.

Does the terrestrial planets have more moons than the outer planets?

Do all outer planets have moons?
Yes, all the outer planets have at least a dozen moons.
Do any of the outer planets have moons?
Yes. All four of the outer planets have multiple moons.
Does the outer planet have more moons than outer planet?
Oh no, it is the outer planets which have the most moons. Terrestrial planets such as Earth have relatively few moons.
Do outer planets have few moons or many moons?
many moons.
What has many moons inner planets or outer planets?
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.
What does mercury and venus lack that the outer planets have?
Moons
What name is given to people who study planets and outer space?
Astronomers
Why do the outer planets have more moons than the inner planet?
The outer planets are much bigger and so have more gravity that can attract more moons. Also in the outer solar system there is more rocks and boulders around that can come together to form moons.
What do the outer planets have going around them?
most of them have their moons revolving them.
