What other planets have there own planets?

As of now, the only planet known to have its own moon is Earth. Other planets in our solar system have moons but no planets of their own. In our solar system, moons primarily orbit around planets rather than planets orbiting around other planets.


How many Moon's Mercury has?

The planet Mercury doesn't have any known moons. Apparently at one time, the star, 31 Crateris was mistaken as being a moon around Mercury, but that was disproven with additional observations.


Which solar system has 62 moons?

There is only one Solar System; it is the star system with the star named Sol (our solar system). It is technically incorrect to refer to any other star system as 'a solar system.' Our star system is is also the only star system we know intimately enough (in fine enough detail) to know to have moons. It is not currently possible for us to detect moons orbiting extrasolar planets (planets orbiting other stars). There are 336 objects classified as moons in the Solar System.


What is a group of planets and their moons that orbit a central star?

A group of planets moving around a star is called a solar system. Planets outside our solar system are called exoplanets. Despite the difficulty of detection, many hundreds have been discovered recently, orbiting other stars.


Which planets have moons and which do not?

All planets in our solar system except Mercury and Venus have moons. This means that Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune all have moons orbiting around them. Mercury and Venus are the only two planets in our solar system that do not have any moons.

Which planet has the most planets orbiting it?

In our solar system, the dwarf planets Pluto and Charon orbit each other around a common center of gravity located in the empty space between them. As the only binary planets in our solar system, that makes Pluto and Charon share the title as having the most planets orbiting another planet. Planet like objects that orbit planets, without them orbiting each other, are called moons. The title for the planet with most moons, is passed back and forth between Jupiter and Saturn, as new (to us) and ever smaller moons are discovered. Currently, Jupiter holds the title with 63 moons.

Do the sun have a moon?

Yes the sun does have moons, and we are on one of them now. A moon is just an object orbiting another and so since we and the other planets are orbiting the sun we are the sun's moons.

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.


Where can moons be found?

Moons can be found orbiting planets within our solar system and other planetary systems. They are natural satellites that range in size from small asteroid-like bodies to larger planets like Jupiter. Some moons, such as Earth's moon, are large enough to have their own gravitational pull.
