Do all planets have the same number of moons?
No, not all planets have the same number of moons. For example, Mercury and Venus have no moons, Earth has one moon, Mars has two moons, while Jupiter has over 70 moons. The number of moons can vary from planet to planet.
Which terrestrial planet has the most moons?
Jupiter =] Jupiter is incorrect. It is considered a Gas Giant not a terrestrial planet. The answer is Mars with it's two known moons.
Why do planets have moons?
Planets have moons because matter is attracted by gravitational force to objects with a greater mass than them.That is why moons orbit planets and are never larger than their host planet.
What fraction of the moons of the planets orbit in the same direction that their planets rotate?
Approximately 75% of the moons in our solar system orbit in the same direction that their planets rotate. This is known as prograde motion. Moons that orbit in the opposite direction are called retrograde.
What is the general relationship between natural moons that orbit a given planet and its mass?
The more massive a planet is, the more likely it is to have larger and more numerous moons. Moons are typically formed from the debris leftover during a planet's formation, and a planet with a greater mass and gravitational pull is more likely to capture and retain these moons in orbit.
Which planet is the same size as earth with no moons?
No planet! However, Venus has no moons and is not much smaller than Earth.
Do all planets have the same number of moons?
No, not all planets have the same number of moons. For example, Mercury and Venus have no moons, Earth has one moon, Mars has two moons, while Jupiter has over 70 moons. The number of moons can vary from planet to planet.
Do all planets have the same number of moons as earth?
No, the planets have different number of moons, from zero to about 60-70.
Which planet has the same number of moons as earth?
None is known. No moons of Mercury or Venus have been discovered, Earth has one, and each of the other planets is known to have more than one. 63 are presently known in orbit around Jupiter.
How many moons are in Australia?
Australia has the same number of moons as the rest of the Earth: just one.
Do the inner planets share the same moon?
No. The moons of a planet belong to that planet alone. Of the inner planets, Mercury and Venus have no moons, Earth has one large moon (the moon), and Mars has two small moons named Phobos and Deimos.
Which terrestrial planet has the most moons?
Jupiter =] Jupiter is incorrect. It is considered a Gas Giant not a terrestrial planet. The answer is Mars with it's two known moons.
Is the same size as earth has no moons and has thick atmosphere of mostly carbon dioxide?
The planet you are describing matches the characteristics of Venus. Venus is nearly the same size as Earth, has no moons, and its atmosphere is mostly composed of carbon dioxide, with thick clouds of sulfuric acid.
Which moon always has the same side facing the planet?
Most moons do that. Earth's Moon is the most readily visible example.
What planet has the same amount of moons as mercury?
Venus, both have zero moons.
What planet is Jupiter the sun?
The planet Jupiter orbits the same sun that the Earth orbits; it is part of our solar system. It has the greatest number of moons of any planet in the solar system, including four (the Galilean moons) which are quite large.
Which planet has the second largest number of moons?
Depends on your definition of moons.Jupiter has 63 confirmed moons, whereas Saturn has 61 confirmed moons but over 150 moonlets.So probably Saturn, but it has two unconfirmed moons, which would bring it up to the same number as Jupiter.
