A moon orbits a planet, while a planet orbits a star, such as the Sun. The movement of a moon is typically influenced by the gravitational pull of its parent planet, leading to a more elliptical and faster orbit compared to the planet's orbit around the star. Additionally, moons can have varied orbital characteristics, including synchronous rotation, where they show the same face to the planet, unlike planets that generally do not exhibit such behavior in relation to their star. Overall, moons' movements are more closely tied to their planets' gravitational influence, while planets follow a broader orbital path around a star.
planets have moons for day and night
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.
Oh no, it is the outer planets which have the most moons. Terrestrial planets such as Earth have relatively few moons.
yes moons are satellites to other planets
Yes. There are countless planets and moons in the universe.
Moons are larger, obviously.
Planets.
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.
Moons are satellites of planets.

No. Planets and moons reflect light.
On the contrary! A star has planets, which circulate it. And planets have moons. Stars do not circle planets.
Moons are not surrounded by planets, planets are surrounded (orbited) by moons.
178 including pluto's moons. 8 planets and 170 moons.
