There's no reason to expect that the number of a planet's satellites ... natural or artificial ... should have any effect
on the planet's mass.
Wait ... I take that back. If people on earth launch an artificial satellite having mass of 1,000 kilograms,
then as long as that satellite remains in orbit, the mass of the earth is reduced by 1,000 kilograms. But
the loss is reclaimed as soon as the artificial satellite leaves orbit, even if it's incinerated in the atmosphere
upon re-entry.
A natural satellite has no effect on a planet's mass, so long as it doesn't fall in on the planet.
What else can I help you with?
Does the mass of a planet seem to affect how many moon it has?
Yes, the mass of a planet can influence the number of moons it has. A planet's gravity can capture objects like satellites and smaller bodies, increasing the likelihood of having more moons. Additionally, larger planets with stronger gravitational pull generally have more moons compared to smaller planets.
How are planets different from satellites?
simple! planets are huge or normally bigger than satellites in terms of mass, area and size. planets normally have a atmosphere like the earth. planets revolve around the sun whereas satellites revolve around the planet. both of them are non luminous object which means they reflect the light from the sun. satellites are usually fragments of a planet when it was forming.
What does the white spheres near the planets stand for?
The white spheres near the planets typically represent the number of moons or satellites orbiting that planet in a specific system. They provide a visual representation of the satellites that are part of the planetary system.
Why are the planets considered satellites?
Planets are not considered satellites, but rather celestial bodies that orbit around stars, like our Sun. Satellites are objects that orbit larger celestial bodies, such as planets orbiting around stars or moons orbiting around planets.
What are natural or artifial bodies that orbit larger celestial bodies such as planets?
These are called satellites. A lot of planets have natural satellites called moons, which are in orbit around the planet. An artificial satellite is one that is put there by man, it orbits the planet in a similar way.
What planet has tiny planets?
A planet doesn't "have planets". Anything orbiting a planet is called a moon, or a satellite.
Can Gas planets have satellites?
Yes, any planet can have satellites. Gas planets actually have the most satellites due to their large masses.
What are the satellite planets?
By definition planets orbit a star and satellites orbit a planet. Therefore there are no satellite planets.

Why can you see other planets and planetary satellites?
the brightest and the sixth biggest planet
Does betelgeuse have any satellites?
Betelgeuse is a star, not a planet, so it does not have any satellites. Satellites, also known as moons, typically orbit planets, not stars.
Why are the planets considered satellites?
Planets are not considered satellites, but rather celestial bodies that orbit around stars, like our Sun. Satellites are objects that orbit larger celestial bodies, such as planets orbiting around stars or moons orbiting around planets.
Differentiate between a Planet and a Satellite?
Satellite is a gadget used to observe information about the space and planets are worlds where different creatures live and the planets are reflecting light.
What are natural or artifial bodies that orbit larger celestial bodies such as planets?

Which planets has the largest No of natural satellites?
Mercury, Mars and Pluto if you consider Pluto as a planet.
