Is the Earth's moon the smallest thing in the solar system?
The Earths moon is a fairly small object compared with the planets and sun, but there are other objects which are of a similar size, such as dwarf planets. There are other moons of a similar size also, in orbit around other planets, but there are even smaller moons, down to only a few km accross which are named. Comets and asteroids are also pretty small, yet many have been identified and named.
Are moons satellites to planets?
yes moons are satellites to other planets
Does the earth rotate like the other planets?
Yes the Earth does rotate like the other planets (except for the distance of the rotation(assuming your talking about the rotation around the Sun); the wobble of the Earths axis compared to other planets; and the time it takes to rotate)
Do moons revolve around other planets?
Yes. A moon (or natural satellite) do revolve around other planets besides Earth. The only two planets without moons revolving around them are Mercury and Venus.
Name two other planets that have moons other than the earth.?
Mars, Jupiter, Neptune and Uranus all have moons. Venus and Mercury do not have moons.
What is earths relative gravity?
Generally gravity of other planets, moons, ext is compared relatively to Earth's (with Earth's being 1).
Is the moon the same size as moons of the other terrestrial planets?
No. The Moon is large compared to Earth. Almost all other moons are much smaller relative to the planets they orbit.

How many planets have two moons?

How is earths moon different from the Moon's of other planets?
In size and mass it is enormous compared to it's parent planet - The Earth.
Do any planets have less then 10 moons?
Yes. Many Planets and dwarf planets have less than 10 moons. Planets: Mercury- 0 moons Venus- 0 moons Earth- 1 moon Mars- 2 moon Neptune- 8 moons Dwarf planets: Pluto- 3 moons and many other dwarf planets that i don't know how many moons they have.
How are other planets compared with earth?
some planets are bigger and some are smaller. some have different atmospheres. some of the planets are almost pure gas. some planets have as much as like 60 moons while ours only has one

Who discovered that other planets had moons?
Galileo
How the rotation of Venus different from that of most other planets and moons?
It's backwards. Venus rotates the opposite direction from most other moons and planets.
How is the rotation of venues different from that of most other planets and moons?
It's backwards. Venus rotates the opposite direction from most other moons and planets.
