It is difficult to know for certain. Earth has one natural satellite and thousands of artificial satellites. Mars has two moons and its own fleet of space probes in orbit. At least two of the larger asteroids have their own mini-moons. There are over 60 moons of Jupiter alone, and Saturn has 34 named satellites (and how many more that are still too small for our cameras to see?) Uranus has 27 known moons, Neptune 13 we're sure of, and even tiny Pluto has one. There are four other dwarf planets that are too far away to see moons even if there are any, and more dwarf planets yet to be discovered when we get out there.
Saturn's rings aren't solid; each ring is composed of millions, probably billions of separate particles. Ditto the other gas giant planets, each of which have thin, dark rings. Do we count those?
It's a pretty big number, any way we look at it.
What else can I help you with?
What planet in the solar system has a satellite?
Moons are considered satellites, hence several planets in our solar system have satellites: Neptune, Earth, Mars, Saturn, Uranus & Jupiter.
Which planet in the solar system has the most satellites?
Jupiter has the most satellites in our solar system, with a total of 79 known moons. These moons vary in size, with the four largest being Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto.
Which is the largest planet with no moons?
Venus is the biggest planet in our solar system that has no known satellites (moons).
How many moons does merury have?
Mercury does not have any moons. It is the only planet in our solar system that does not have any natural satellites orbiting around it.
What planets in our solar system lack moons?
No satellites are known to orbit Mercury or Venus.
How many satellites are there in your solar system according to 2010 research?
As of the end of 2010, planetary astronomers have documented about 245 known satellites of the planets in the solar system.
How does the solar system effect earth?
the solar system contains satellites that provide "solar power"
How many planets do not have any satellites?
Of the eight planets in our solar system, only Mercury and Venus have no known satellites. Furthermore, Pluto has at least four of them.
Do most satellites in the outer solar system have perfect smooth surfaces?
No. No object in the solar system has a perfectly smooth surface. These satellites have craters, mountains, and valleys.
How many satellites are in the solar system?
There are 168 known natural satellites (moons) of the 8 major planets. There are also moons around 3 of the 5 dwarf planets (Pluto, Eris, and Haumea). There are more than 200 artificial satellites (or expired satellites) in Earth orbit or scattered throughout the solar system.
What planets in the Solar System have satellites?
All the planets have satellites, except Mercury and Venus.Jupiter
Which object in the solar system has the most satellites?
The sun.
How many natural satellites are there in your solar system and which planets do they orbit?
As of early 2010, more than 265 natural satellites have been identified in the solar system, orbiting every planet except Mercury and Venus.
What planet in the solar system has a satellite?
Moons are considered satellites, hence several planets in our solar system have satellites: Neptune, Earth, Mars, Saturn, Uranus & Jupiter.
Which planets in your solar system do not have any natural satellites?
Mercury and Venus do not have any natural satellites.
How are Saturn and Neptune's satellites similar?
They are the only satellites known in the solar system to have substantial atmospheres.
What Planet is outside our solar system?
None. By definition , our "solar system" is everything controlled by the gravity of our sun. The planets, their satellites, asteroids, dwarf planets, comets, interplanetary dust, and man-made satellites are "within" our solar system. Any "planet" outside out solar system is just that - OUTSIDE of it.
