Not directly. An object that orbits a star is not a moon. If it is large enough and has cleared its orbit of debris, an object orbiting a star is considered a planet. Other objects orbiting stars include dwarf planets, asteroids, and comets. The planets and dwarf planets can have moons.

Is a planet with many moons an inner or outer planet?

In our own solar system, the only planets with many moons are outer planets. It seems likely that if there were a large planet close to a companion star, the star's gravity would strip away any orbiting moons. However, we have no way of detecting the moons of any extrasoloar planets.

Which solar system has 62 moons?

There is only one Solar System; it is the star system with the star named Sol (our solar system). It is technically incorrect to refer to any other star system as 'a solar system.' Our star system is is also the only star system we know intimately enough (in fine enough detail) to know to have moons. It is not currently possible for us to detect moons orbiting extrasolar planets (planets orbiting other stars). There are 336 objects classified as moons in the Solar System.


Does Gliese have moons?
