Oh, dude, that would be Uranus! Yeah, Uranus has 27 moons, which is like, more than enough to throw a wild moon party. So, if you're ever in the mood for some moon gazing, Uranus is the place to be.
Jupiter has 63 known natural satellites (with a 64th and more possible as of 2008). Saturn has 60 or more, Uranus 27 or more, Neptune 13 currently known, and Pluto has three confirmed moons (the largest, Charon, is nearly the same size as Pluto).
Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun and is the third largest in the solar system. It was discovered by William Herschel in 1781. It has an equatorial diameter of 51,800 kilometers (32,190 miles) and orbits the Sun once every 84.01 Earth years. It has a mean distance from the Sun of 2.87 billion kilometers (1.78 billion miles). It rotates about its axis once every 17 hours 14 minutes. Uranus has at least 22 moons. The two largest moons, TITANIA and OBERON, were discovered by William Herschel in 1787.
Some planets have no moons at all, such as Mercury and Venus; some, like Earth, has only one. Mars has two tiny moons, and Jupiter has four large moons and 60 or so small ones.
Oh, dude, that's Saturn! It's like the king of moons and rings in our solar system. With its fifteen moons and ten rings, Saturn's like the bling-bling planet of the neighborhood. So, if you're into celestial jewelry, Saturn's where it's at.
They have Icy, cratered surfaces.
Big and rocky

It's not clear where Uranus' moons have come from. Theories suggest they were pulled into orbit or formed alongside Uranus during the development of the Solar System.
Looks like we've got a jokester... Uranus has 27 known satellites.
There is evidence to suggest that Uranus' moons may contain water ice in their interiors. However, the surface of these moons is mainly composed of a mixture of water ice and other compounds like rock and carbonaceous materials. Further exploration is needed to confirm the presence of water on Uranus' moons.
Like all the outer planets, Uranus is surrounded by a swarm of moons. As of 2011, there are 27 known and named moons. Five are large icy satellites that were discovered from Earth, eleven were located by Voyager 2 in 1986, and the rest in telescopic surveys since 1997. The orbits of the inner 13 moons are intimately connected to the rings of Uranus, which are thin and tenuous. These moons are small, none larger than 162 km in diameter and some as small as only 18 to 30 km. The orbits are thought to have changed substantially since they were first established. The outer 9 moons are thought to be captured asteroids, and all but one orbit in the opposite direction from the five large moons, and millions of kilometers farther from the planet. The outermost, Ferdinand, averages 20 million km from Uranus and is estimated to require 7.7 Earth years to make a single orbit of the planet. Although Voyager 2 performed a survey of Uranus' moons, it passed by when tilted Uranus was at the height of southern summer. As a result, only the southern hemispheres of Uranus's moons have ever been imaged by spacecraft. Additionally, the "bull's-eye" pattern of Uranus' rings and moons on the sky meant that Voyager 2 saw only Miranda close-up; the rest of the moons were only seen distantly.
miranda. That's one of them. There used to be 5 known moons of Uranus, but there's more now. The "traditional" five are : Miranda Ariel Umbriel Titania Oberon. They are all named after characters from Shakespeare's plays.
Neptune Has 8 moons and the largest of these moons is called Triton and was found by the Voyager2 in 2008
Uranus' most famous moon is likely Titania, which is the largest and second most massive moon of the planet. It was discovered in 1787 by William Herschel and is known for its icy surface and unique geological features.
No, like all planets (and most moons), uranus has enough gravity to prevent things from flying off into space.
