Moon gravity is 1/6 of the Earth, reason why the Moon only face Earth one side is due to both Earth and Moon gravity locking with each other and slow theMoon rotation to match the orbital period, despite low gravitational force it create tide pattern on Earth.

What moon or planet doesn't have enough gravity to have an atmosphere?

-- Mercury -- moon of Earth -- moons of Mars -- majority of moons of Jupiter and Saturn Note: While Mars technically has an atmosphere, its density is only around 1% of the density of earth's atmosphere, so Mars is very close to joining the list.


List the planet in order from most moons to least?

Saturn, with 63 Jupiter, with 60 Uranus, with 21 Neptune, with 8 Mars, with 2 Earth, with 1 Mercury and Venus, with 0 and if you count Pluto it has 3 moons.


A planet with more than 16 moons?

Saturn is the planet with the most moons in our solar system, having more than 80 moons. Another planet with more than 16 moons is Jupiter, which has over 50 moons. These moons vary in size and composition, with some being as small as a few kilometers across and others as large as our own Moon.


What planet has 8 moons only?

I believe that might be Saturn. A lot of people say that Saturn has 64 moons and stuff like that, but very few are actually moons. I've personally seen 3 moons, but the third might have been a star. Comment: No, it's not Saturn. Neptune is the probable answer, but it now has more than 8 known moons. The two moons seen from Earth are Triton and Nereid.


Do any other planets have moons and if so which ones?

Yes there are: Only two planets (known) has no moons: Check the list below: Planet/number: Merkur: 0 Venus: 0 Earth: 1 Mars: 2 Jupiter: 63 Saturn: 48 Uranus: 27 Neptun: 13 Pluto: 3 (dwarfplanet) Eris: 1 Hope this helps: Data comes from Wikipedia
