Is it true that a planet has 12 moons?
No, the statement is not always true. While some planets, like Jupiter and Saturn, have numerous moons, not all planets in our solar system have 12 moons. Some planets, like Earth and Mars, have fewer moons, while others have none at all.
All planets have at least one moon True or False?
False. Not all planets have at least one moon. For example, Mercury and Venus have no moons, whereas Jupiter and Saturn have many moons.
Which of the planets do not have moons?
Of the eight true planets in the Solar System, only Mercury and Venus are lacking natural satellites.
Is it true that Kepler's laws holds only for the six planets known in his time?
No. It holds for other planets, and for any other situation where one objects orbits another - for example, moons orbiting planets, stars orbiting a black hole, etc.
How is the moon different from a planet?
the moons orbit the planet but the planets orbit the sunMoons revolve round planets. Planets revolve round suns.___________AlternateThe truth is that planets orbit round their moons, or more precisely a planet and its moon(s) orbit around their barycenter, the center of gravity of the planet-moon system. This is true for the earth, but this orbital motion of earth is less noticeable than the orbital motion of the smaller moon. I think the real difference between planets and their moons is relative size.
What is generally true about the number of moons of owned by terrestrial planets vs gas planets?
The total number of moons owned by the terrestrial planets is three, and that's a stretch, as one of Mar's moons is almost certainly a captured asteroid. The gas planets have scores of moons among them, mostly because they are much larger, hence have much greater gravity, and attract more moons among them.
Which of the following is true for both gas planets and terrestrial planets?
They are a round shape.

Why do some planets not have moons?
There are two planets in our solar system that do not have moons: Mercury and Venus. They are the two planets closest to the sun and they are both terrestrial planets like Earth and Mars. Their proximity to the sun may be part of the answer; the sun's gravity may disrupt the orbits of would-be moons. This could especially be true of Mercury, which is the innermost and least massive of the planets. It is also possible that the planets simply never experienced events that would result in a moon with a stable orbit. Venus has the slowest rotation of all the planets and actually rotates "backwards." This slow retrograde rotation would tend to drag any orbiting moon in through tidal interactions, so it is possible than Venus once had a moon or moons that crashed int the planet long ago. We do not know how many planets outside the solar system have moons.
Asteroids are made of essentially the same materials as the terrestrial planets?
Asteroids are mainly composed of rock and metal, similar to the materials found on Earth and the other terrestrial planets in our solar system. They can also contain ice and carbon-rich compounds.
Why the fact that the earth and the moon have different densities favors the collision theory of lunar formation?
It seems odd to postulate that the planets/moons in our galaxy were the result of collisions. If that were true, why have we not been witnessing recurring collisions-- with the creation of other new planets/moons?
How many mile from mercury to the sun in miles?
Planet Mercury averages about 36 million miles from our sun, making it the closest of the planets. Mercury is too hot to support life as we know it. Mercury has no atmosphere and no moons. It is the smallest of the true planets.
All the terrestrial plannets lie inside the asterorid belt True or false?
All Planets do not lie inside the asteororid Belt . The answer is False
Is it true or false uranus have more satellites than any other planets?
True. Uranus has 27 known moons, which is more than any other planet in our solar system.
