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.
Jupiter does. It has 63 and Saturn has, as of 4th May 2005, 46 known moons.
Jupiter has 63 moons.Saturn 62 moons with confirmed orbit's. I think Saturn has more moons as they are more moons yet to be found.
Yes, they both have over 60 moons.
* Jupiter, 63 moons * Saturn, 61 moons plus over 100 moonlets* Uranus, 27 moons
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.
A few planets have more than 15 moons. Take Jupiter, which has at least 63 of them. Saturn has 60 known moons, while Uranus has 27. I'm reading a 1987 book of date that says: Jupiter has at least 16, Saturn: 23 and Uranus, 15.
Well mars is the the only planet with TWO moons (Phobos and Deimos)other plants have a lot more moons. Jupiter and Saturn- 70+ moons Neptune and Uranus- 15+ moons
Jupiter
No, both Jupiter and Saturn have more moons.

Jupiter has 63 moons which is more than Saturn which is 48.
Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus all have more than 25 named moons.
In our Solar System - two - Jupiter and Saturn.
Depends. There are jupiter,Saturn Uranis.Well.That i know of.
Jupiter and Saturn have the most moons in our solar system. Jupiter has at least 79 known moons, while Saturn has at least 82.
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 .
Saturn has more moons than any other planet in our solar system.
Jupiter has 16 moons traveling around it. Jupiter is our big planet in our solar system.
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.
