How many moons in universe?

Answer 1

170 moons in our solar system. In terms of the universe, the question is not answerable and probably never will be answerable. 1.7 septillion is just an estimate. We will never be able even to observe every single galaxy in the universe, let alone count the moons that exist around their planets. We might come up with an estimate of the number of moons in the universe, after we get a better grasp of the planetary situation in our own Milky Way. We have just begun the process of observing planets outside of our own solar system. We are far from understanding how many planets and moons there are right here in our own universal neighborhood (The Milky Way).

Answer 2

There are 178 known moons in the Solar System. The planet which has the most natural satellites is Jupiter with 66. There are also 104 asteroid moons and as many as 58 satellites of potential dwarf planet candidates.

Major Planets (171)

• Mercury does not have any natural satellites (moons)
• Venus does not have any natural satellites (moons).
• Earth has 1 natural satellite (moon) called 'The Moon' or Luna (asteroid Cruithne orbits the Sun in a 1:1 orbital resonance with Earth)
• Mars has 2 natural satellites (moons)
• Jupiter has 66 natural satellites (moons)
• Saturn has 62 (+1 unconfirmed) natural satellites (moons) and over 150 moonlets
• Uranus has 27 natural satellites (moons)
• Neptune has 13 natural satellites (moons)

Dwarf Planets (7)

• Pluto has 4
• Eris has 1
• Haumea has 2
• Ceres has none
• Makemake has none

Answer 3

We've only just begun to get our heads around how many stars there are in the Universe, and even then we're not too sure but guessing at 10 sextillion. (x)

We've only just begun to see how many exoplanets there are, and not even begun to look at exomoons!!

If we extrapolate as our Solar System as a base model then:-

x = stars, y = planets (inc dwarf), z = moons we get 1, 13, 168.

So X x Y x Z = 2,184,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 moons.

But that's just a guess, there may be two or three more.

In reality, the question is not answerable and probably never will be answerable. We will never be able even to observe every single galaxy in the universe, let alone count the moons that exist around their planets. We might come up with an estimate of the number of moons in the universe, after we get a better grasp of the planetary situation in our own Milky Way. We have just begun the process of observing planets outside of our own solar system. We are far from understanding how many planets and moons there are right here in our own universal neighborhood (The Milky Way).

Answer 4

Nobody knows, or will know. There are about 10 billion trillion stars (100 billion per galaxy) in the observable universe.

If we assume that each star has the same amount of moons (i.e. 170+) as our Sun, then the total will be around 1.7 trillion trillion moons, but estimates vary.

Answer 5

We don't know for sure. There are well over a hundred, but it's probable, even likely, that the outer planets have a few small ones that haven't been discovered yet.

If we just consider "large" moons, then the answer depends on how big "large" is. Setting the cutoff at 250 km, there are 23: Mercury 0, Venus 0, Earth 1, Mars 0, Jupiter 4, Saturn 8, Uranus 5, Neptune 3. If you've been adding as we go, you'll notice that's only 21: the dwarf planets Pluto and Haumea each have a satellite of over 250 km diameter as well.

Answer 6

As of current knowledge, Earth's solar system has 214 confirmed moons. However, the total number of moons in the entire universe is still unknown as we continue to discover new celestial bodies and moons beyond our own solar system.

Answer 7

i dont

no how many moons are there in universe but i can say that it is more than 200

Answer 8

THERE ARE 20 MOONS DISCOVERED IN THE WHOLE universe
