What planets have less than 15 known satellites?
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Neptune and Pluto.
How many natural satellites does the sun have?
Mars has two natural satellites.Phobos is the nearest and orbits Mars in just a few hours. It rises in the west and sets in the East. Demios is further out and only takes slightly longer to go round Mars than it takes Mars to turn on it's axis so it spends several days climbing up the sky. Both are very small and irregularly shaped, they are believed to be captured asteroids.

What is the no of satellites of the planets?
well, all planets have different numbers of satellites... if you start from first planet Mercury, it has no natural satellite. Venus is also free of that.. Earth has one big that we can see and its called Moon or Luna(Greek for Moon) but astronomer say that earth has more than one, probably seven or some say two. Mars has two, Jupiter has 63 known satellites to date (including biggest satellite in solar system Ganymede) , Saturn has 60 to 62, Uranus has 27 known satellites, Neptune has 13 known satellites and Pluto has 3 (Not a planet anymore though)
How many satellites can a planet have?
The "natural satellites" of planets are their moons. Mercury - 0 Venus - 0 Earth - 1 Mars - 2 Jupiter - 67 known, possibly more Saturn - 62 known, 53 named (all but 13 are tiny and there are uncounted icy moonlets) Uranus - 27 known Neptune - 13 known (Dwarf Planet Pluto - 4 known, three named)
What planets that we know of have less than 15 satellites?
Planets with fewer than 15 known satellites are: Mercury (0), Venus (0), Earth (1), Mars (2), Neptune (14). Note that because of its great distance from us it is possible that Neptune has undiscovered satellites.
What planets have less than 15 known satellites?

What are the 2 orbits of satellites?
Artificial and natural satellites. Artificial satellites are man-made satellites sent into space for a variety of different purposes e.g. taking pictures of the earth for scientific investigation Natural satellites are moons, which orbit planets and are not man-made.
