Earth has one moon. Mars has two moons and Pluto, the dwarf planet has one moon. Mercury and Venus don't have any moons, and Jupiter has 63 known moons. Uranus has 27 moons, Neptune, 13, and Saturn has 60 moons.
A body which orbits a planet is called a moon.Therefore, the moon is considered...well a 'moon'.Another description given to bodies which orbits planets are called satellites. So you can also say that the moon is considered a satellite of earth (a natural satellite as opposed to a man made satellite)
Each of the eight planets orbits around the sun; Mercury (the smallest), Venus (the hottest), Earth (our planet), Mars (the red planet), Jupiter (the largest), Saturn (the one with rings), Uranus (the green one tilted on its side that you have to be careful how you pronounce), and Neptune (the furthest).
Yes. But not all at the same rate, nor are their axis lined up with each other.Yes.Yes.
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.
This is clearly related to its greater mass. The other giant planets also have several moons each.
Yes, Jupiter and Saturn each of 60 some moons, while Uranus and Neptune have around twenty. The dwarf planet Pluto has three 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.
No Moons that circle around the planets are their children. Mercury and Venus don't have any children because they hate each other and all the other planets are partnered.
The moon can be found in space. Moons will orbit around planets that have moons. Earth has one moon that gives four different phases each month.
The sun actually doesn't revolve, but each planet revolves around the sun. Earth revolves around it in 365 days, but other planets revolve in different amounts of time, depending on their distance from the sun.
Mercury and Venus are the two planets that have neither rings nor moons. Earth and Mars each have moons, and the gas giants all have rings and moons.
Each planet has a different rotation speed around the sun. Erth takes 365 days,Mercury takes 88 days, so there is no spped for all the planets

Galaxies/nebulae are at the top of the tree; each one contains several billion stars. Each star might have many planets orbiting around it, and planets can have many moons.
