Do Inner planets rings and satellites more rings and satellites than outer planets?
I do not understand the question - the inner planets have no rings, and only Earth and Mars have moons.
Are there any orbiting moons by sartun?
Yes, Saturn has a few moons. Titan, Rhea, and Iapetus are some of the major moons. NASA has them categorized or Wikipedia has more information about them. There are eight major satellites and fifty-some lesser satellites and unconfirmed satellites.
What celestial body revolves around a planet?
A moon. Of course planets may have different numbers of moons - Mercury and Venus have no moons, the Earth has one, Mars has two, Jupiter has more than 60, etc.
Why do giant planets have many more moons than terrestrial planets?
Gas giants are larger and there for have a stronger gravitational pull. When the solar system was forming, the larger planets with greater gravitational pulls collected more satellites and therefore have more moons.
Tiny planets that orbit Mars and Jupiter?
Objects that orbit a planet are called moons or satellites, they are not planets. Both Mars and Jupiter have moons; Jupiter has a lot more than Mars does, and some of them are quite large, too. The two moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos, are relatively small, perhaps even tiny.
Which planets do not have one or more moons orbiting them?
Mercury and Venus. These two planets have no known moons.
Are there thirty moons in our solar system?
No. There are more than that. There are currently 173 known moons orbiting planets in our solar system and many more orbiting dwarf planets, asteroids, and comets.
What are examples of satellites?
Most moons orbiting the various planets of our solar system are considered "satellites" - more specifically, "natural satellites". In addition, the more general use applies to the various space modules, etc., orbiting around the earth or around other planets of the solar system. As they are the result of human device, they are considered, "artificial Satellites". Sputnik 1, as the very first of these, acts as prime example.
How many moons are there in all?
As of September 2008[update], 335 bodies are formally classified as moons. They include 167 orbiting six of the eight planets, 6 orbiting three of the five dwarf planets, 104 asteroid moons, and 58 satellites of Trans-Neptunian objects, some of which will likely turn out to be dwarf planets.There are expected to be more yet to be discovered.
Why does Neptune have 13 satellites even though it is not orbited by human made objects?
Well, call me a scientist, satellites are sometimes known as ANYTHING that can orbit a rock, star or planet. So, Neptune does have eleven (or more, who knows) moons. Satellites are usually known as the man-made space telescopes, but they can be anything that orbits. Here, let me explain: Planets: Mercury, Earth, Venus... (you know) Stars: The sun Satellites: The moon, Hubble telescope, and other of Earths satellites

What orbit the planets?
The orbit of each planet it the path it takes as it rotates round the Sun under the influence of the force of gravity. Every planet has a separate orbit and the orbits all follow Kepler's three laws of planetary motion.
How many satellites are in the solar system?
There are 168 known natural satellites (moons) of the 8 major planets. There are also moons around 3 of the 5 dwarf planets (Pluto, Eris, and Haumea). There are more than 200 artificial satellites (or expired satellites) in Earth orbit or scattered throughout the solar system.
How many planets does Neptune have?
Neptune is the 8th Planet from Sun in our solar system. Now, let me rephrase your question slightly. How many moons does Neptune has? Because Neptune is a planet and can only have moons or satellites orbiting it. Answer to this question is would be 13. In other words, Neptune has 13 known moons orbiting and there could be more which are not seen by man or discovered yet.

Is there more than one moon orbiting around your planet?
In terms of the earth, there is only one moon orbiting around it. In terms of other planets, some planets, like Mars or Venus and Murcury have no moons. Other's like all the Gas Giants have more than one moon orbiting it.
