How many planets have two moons?
Only Mars has two moons. The other planets have either one moon, no moons, or many moons.
Which of the terrestrial planets including the moon are considered to still be geologically active?
Earth is the only geologically active planet among the terrestrial planets. There are some geologically active moons in orbit around the gas giants. Enceladus is quite an interesting moon of Saturn.
Do any planets have less then 10 moons?
Yes. Many Planets and dwarf planets have less than 10 moons. Planets: Mercury- 0 moons Venus- 0 moons Earth- 1 moon Mars- 2 moon Neptune- 8 moons Dwarf planets: Pluto- 3 moons and many other dwarf planets that i don't know how many moons they have.
What is The only rocky planet to have more than one moon?
There are four rocky planets, known as terrestrial planets. They are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. Only Mars has more than one moon; the planet has two moons.
What inner planets have no moon?
Mercury has no moons Venus has no moons Earth has 1 moon (Of course) Mars has 2 moons And that's all the inner planets HOPE IT HELPED :)
Are other planets moons larger than terrestrial planets?
Two are: Jupiter's moon Ganymede and Saturn's moon Titan are larger than Mercury.
Why don't terrestrial planets have rocky moons?
They do. Earth's moon is rocky as are the moons of Mars; Phobos and Deimos.
Do terrestrial planets have numerous orbiting moons?
None of those in out solar system do. Of the four terrestrial planets in our solar system, two have moons. Earth has one moon while Mars has two. The Jovian planets all have numerous moons.
Are any moons as large as terrestrial planets?
Well, if you count Pluto as terrestrial (it's not a gas giant either) Jupiter's moon Ganymede is bigger than it. Other moons might be bigger than Mercury, but they're all Jupiter's.

Which has the most moons terrestrial planets or gas giant planets?
In our solar system and likely all others Gas Giants. There are only 2 Terrestrial Planets with moons, The Earth and Mars they are Luna (The Moon), Phobos and Deimos. Jupiter has 67 Known moons Saturn has 62 Known moons Uranus has 27 Known moons Neptune has 13 Known moons On a side note Pluto which is a dwarf planet has 5 moons Charon, Niz, Hydra, P4 and P5
Differentiate Jovian planet from terrestrial planet?
The four Jovian planets in our solar system are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The four terrestrial planets are Earth, Venus, Mars and Mercury. The difference between the Jovian planets and the terrestrial planets is that Jovian planets are enormous and made of gasses and ices while terrestrial planets are relatively small and made of rocks and metals. Other differences are that terrestrial planets have high densities, rotate slowly, have no moons or magnetic fields and have thin atmospheres (Earth is an exception because it has a moon and a magnetic field), while Jovian planets have low densities, rotate rapidly, have many moons and a magnetic field and have thick atmospheres.
Only rocky planet to have more than one moon?
There are four terrestrial, or rocky, planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. Of these planets, only Mars has two moons.
What planets have neither rings nor moons?
