gravity
Which types of planets tend to have the most moons terrestrial or gas giants?
gas giants
Do terrestrial planets have more moons than the outer gas giants?
Terrestrial means on Earth so Earth is the only terrestrial planet This is incorrect, the first 4 planets are terrestrial as they are solidly bound planets. Pluto was also a terrestrial dwarf planet. Any planet can have moons but due to the gas giants having larger gravitational forces they have traditionally gathered more moons. Thusly, no.
Why do the gas giants have more moons than the terrestrial planets?
They are larger and so they have more gravity.
Do All of the terrestrial planets have many moons?
None of the terrestrial planets have "many" moons. Mercury and Venus have none, Earth has one, and Mars has two.

Why do gas giants have more moons the terrestrial planets?
They are larger and so they have more gravity.
Why do the giants have more moons than the terrestrial planets?
They are larger and so they have more gravity.
Why do these gas giants have more moons than the terrestrial planets?
They are larger and so they have more gravity.
Why do the gas giants have more moons than the terrestrial planets?
They are larger and so they have more gravity.
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.
Do all of the terrestrial planets have moons?
No. Mercury and Venus do not have moons.
What planets are rocky and have no moons?
Mercury and Venus are terrestrial planets, and they are the only major planets without moons.
