Ganymede, one of Jupiter's moons, holds the title for the largest satellite relative to the size of its planet. It's even larger than the planet Mercury!
A Moon can be larger than a Planet?
Some moons can be bigger than some planets, but moons cannot be bigger than their own planet otherwise the planet would become the moon and the moon would become the planet due to the difference in size, mass and gravitational pull.
Are there moons outside your solar system?
Yes. Any celestial body, of substantial size, in close orbit around a planet is a moon. There are trillions of planets outside of our solar system, and there are even more moons.
How does the size of a planet seem to be related to the number of moons a planet has?
Larger size seems to equal more moons. Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune are larger than Mars, and they have many more moons.

Is there a pattern of how many moons a planet has?
There is a "pattern" relating to the size of a planet and the number of moons that it has. However, this cannot be used as a basis for determining how many moons a planet will have.Jupiter is the largest planet and has the most moons. Saturn is the second largest and has the second most moons, Uranus is the third largest and has the third most moons. So it looks easy, but fails with the terrestrial planets.Earth is the fifth largest but only has one moon, Venus the sixth largest doesn't have any moons. Whereas Mars has two moons but is the seventh largest.

Moons do not have to be any size but if the moon is bigger than the planet that it orbits, then the moon becomes the planet because it has more gravitational force.
What planet has a moon that is a big as it self?
None. Some of the moons of Jupiter are nearly the size of Mercury, but no planet has a moon as big as the planet itself.
