Astronomers have found all the moons of the outer planets?
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.
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.
Why do inner planets have less moons then outer planets?
Because when they are close to the sun first of all they are are smaller so if they had a moon the moon would have to be kinda small. And also the planets close to the sun are made to be able to get to high temperatures. Earth can't get satellites to Mercury and a moon is related to the satellites and the moon would burn up in the heat. All mass has gravity. The inner planets cannot "hang on" to their moons due to their lack of mass, therefore they are unable to overcome the suns gravitational affect on the moons which would pull them into the sun. The outer planets can "hang on" to their moons and attract more because of their mass (therefore gravity). The distance from the sun has less of an impact on these moons, therefore, the sun cannot pull any of the moons away from the outer planets. Also, the outer planets are "kind of" moon magnets due to their gravitational pull.
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.
List three ways the outer planets are alike.?
Well i have 2.THERE ALL CALLED PLANETS THEY ARE ON THE OUTER PART OF THE SOLER SYSTEM
Do any of the outer planets have moons?
Yes. All four of the outer planets have multiple moons.
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 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.
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.

Which planets has less then 3 moons?
All of the inner planets; Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars have less than 3 moons, while all four outer gas giant planets have many moons.
Do outer planets have few moons or many moons?
many 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.
What is the characteristics of the outer planets?
All outer planets have a gaseous atmosphere and are larger than planets the inner planets it also takes them longer to rotate the sun they are typically colder and have more moons.
What does mercury and venus lack that the outer planets have?
Moons
What is the difference of inner planets and outer planets?
The inner planets are rocky, and do not have any rings. They are all fairly small, with our planet, Earth, being the largest, then Venus, then Mars, then Mercury. Most of them have moons, and none have rings. The outer planets are made of gas, and are huge compared to the inner planets. Every single one of these outer planets have moons and rings. Jupiter is the largest, followed by Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
What planets have the most amount of moons?
The four outer planets have many moons each, while the inner planets only have three between all of the, two for Mars and one in orbit around the Earth. The planet with the most is Jupiter, with 63 confirmed moons.
