At last count Jupiter had a whopping 63 moons!
It's four largest moons are called the Galilean satellites, after Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei, who observed them in 1610. The German astronomer Simon Marius claimed to have seen the moons around the same time, but he did not publish his observations and so Galileo is given the credit for their discovery. These large moons, named Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto, are each distinctive worlds.
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.
None have exactly 59, Jupiter and Saturn both have more than 59; the rest of the planets have less. Jupiter has 63 known moons, and Saturn has 61 .
Jupiter has the most moons, 63. Exactly? Let's see, what day is this today? As of last count at nineplanets.org, there are 63 moons of Jupiter. However, more are being discovered every time we send a space probe there, so there may be a dozen or more that haven't been seen yet. For years, the count was "12", based on Earth-bound telescopes, but between the Hubble, the Voyager probes and the recent flyby missions, we have discovered smaller and smaller moons that had been beneath notice. It seems likely that there are a great many tiny moons of the outer planets that have not yet been catalogued.
Saturn has more moons than any other planet in our solar system
You're most likely thinking of Saturn. Titan (the largest moon of Saturn) is around 800 million miles away from the Sun. It is commonly reported that Saturn has 18 moons, however it actually has 62 moons with confrimed orbits.
Jupiter
No, both Jupiter and Saturn have more 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.
Jupiter has 63 moons which is more than Saturn which is 48.
None have exactly 59, Jupiter and Saturn both have more than 59; the rest of the planets have less. Jupiter has 63 known moons, and Saturn has 61 .
Jupiter and Saturn each have 60 or more known moons. In Saturn's case, there are many small moonlets in the ring system. In Jupiter's case, a number of small moons (likely captured asteroids) have comparatively long and elliptical orbits far from the planet.
Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus all have more than 25 named moons.
Generally, the larger or more massive the planet, the more moons it may have. Jupiter and Saturn are the largest and most massive and have over 60 moons each.
In our Solar System - two - Jupiter and Saturn.
Depends. There are jupiter,Saturn Uranis.Well.That i know of.
