The process of planet growth from a solar nebular is a very chaotic one. The process of moon formation (or preservation in planetary orbits) is one of chance. Some planets will have no moons others will have many moons.
However it is likely that the innermost planets will have the smallest number.

Why do the planets go round the sun and not the moon?
Because the moons are the ones revolvimg around the planets (only some planets have moons, not all). And besides, moons aren't in the center of the solar system. They're even smaller than the planets.
How do planets get their moons?
moons are small planets caught in the gavity of bigger planets.
Can dwarf planets have moons?
Yes, and they do. Not all of them have confirmed moons but some do. Pluto, for example, has four known moons.
Why the dwarf planets have moons?
planets have moons for day and night
Do planets and moons have stars?
On the contrary! A star has planets, which circulate it. And planets have moons. Stars do not circle planets.
Does the terrestrial planets have more moons than the outer planets?

Do Planets and their moons emit light?
No. Planets and moons reflect light.
Do smaller planets have more moons?
