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.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Is it true that a planet has 12 moons?
No, the statement is not always true. While some planets, like Jupiter and Saturn, have numerous moons, not all planets in our solar system have 12 moons. Some planets, like Earth and Mars, have fewer moons, while others have none at all.
Do all planets have the same number of moons?
No, not all planets have the same number of moons. For example, Mercury and Venus have no moons, Earth has one moon, Mars has two moons, while Jupiter has over 70 moons. The number of moons can vary from planet to planet.
Do Planets and their moons emit light?
No. Planets and moons reflect light.
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.
What orbits some planets?
moons
Do all the planets have moons traveling around them?
No, not all planets have moons. Mercury and Venus do not have any moons, while some planets like Jupiter and Saturn have a large number of moons. Earth has one moon.
How many moons do the suns have?
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.
What are moons to planets?
Moons are satellites of planets.
Does each planet have its own moon?
No, some planets have several moons, whilst many have no moons at all.
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.
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.
Is it true that a planet has 12 moons?
No, the statement is not always true. While some planets, like Jupiter and Saturn, have numerous moons, not all planets in our solar system have 12 moons. Some planets, like Earth and Mars, have fewer moons, while others have none at all.
Do all dwarf planets have moons?
No. Of the five objects currently recognized as dwarf planets, two do not have moons. Those objects are Ceres and Makemake.
Why the dwarf planets have moons?
planets have moons for day and night
Are the planets like moons to the sun?
The planets are satellites of the sun. The moons are satellites of the planets. The moons revolve around the planets captured by their gravity, while the planets revolve around the sun captured by its gravity and the sun.
Does the terrestrial planets have more moons than the outer planets?
Oh no, it is the outer planets which have the most moons. Terrestrial planets such as Earth have relatively few moons.
