When a star explodes, it is referred to as a nova. If the star
is large enough, it will create a super nova. And if the star is
dense enough, it does not explode, but instead collapses on itself
and forms a black hole

Terrestrial means on Earth so Earth is the only terrestrial
planet
This is incorrect, the first 4 planets are terrestrial as they
are solidly bound planets. Pluto was also a terrestrial dwarf
planet. Any planet can have moons but due to the gas giants having
larger gravitational forces they have traditionally gathered more
moons. Thusly, no.
