As of now, the five officially recognized dwarf planets in our solar system—Pluto, Eris, Haumea, Makemake, and Ceres—have a total of five known moons. Pluto has five moons, Eris has one, Haumea has two, Makemake has one, and Ceres has none. Thus, altogether, the dwarf planets have a total of five moons.
There are 184 moons in our Solar system, counting ones associated with dwarf planets. The largest moon, Ganymede, orbits Jupiter. Mars' two moons are so small that they are not even round.
It depends, both moons and dwarf planets vary in size, and size is not the basis of classification. The largest moons in the solar system, including our own moon, are larger than the five recognized dwarf planets, but many moons are smaller.
The Sun doesn't have "moons". The term "moon" applies to satellites of planets or planetoids. An object orbiting the Sun is classified as a planet, dwarf planet, asteroid, comet, or a Kuiper Belt object.
If you count in pluto, there are 135 moons. If not, there are 134 moons.
Mercury and Venus do not have moons.
there are 139 moons altogether.
There are 5 altogether.
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.
In our Solar System, 173 moons around planets are recognized, as well as over 200 moons around minor planets.
Ceres does not have any moons or natural satellites. As far as we know at present, Ceres does not have any moons. Ceres, the smallest dwarf planet, has no known moons. However there are other dwarf planets with moons that we know of such as Pluto and its moon Charon.
No. There are more than that. There are currently 173 known moons orbiting planets in our solar system and many more orbiting dwarf planets, asteroids, and comets.

The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.

As of September 2008[update], 335 bodies are formally classified as moons. They include 167 orbiting six of the eight planets, 6 orbiting three of the five dwarf planets, 104 asteroid moons, and 58 satellites of Trans-Neptunian objects, some of which will likely turn out to be dwarf planets.There are expected to be more yet to be discovered.
many moons.
In our own solar system, there are eight major planets, ten dwarf planets, two protoplanets, and thousands of minor planets (asteroids). There are also billions of planets outside our own system, but they shall not be named here (it would be impractical to try). Below is a list, in orbital order, of major objects in the solar system, as well as how many known major objects orbit them:Sol (sun) [18 planets, three asteroid belts, two protoplanets, one theoretical dwarf star]Mercury (terrestrial planet)Venus (terrestrial planet)Earth (terrestrial planet) [1 moon, Luna]Mars (terrestrial planet) [2 moons]Asteroid BeltCeres* (dwarf planet)Vesta* (protoplanet)Pallas* (protoplanet)Jupiter (gas giant) [66 moons]Saturn (gas giant) [62 moons]Uranus (ice giant) [27 moons]Neptune (ice giant) [13 moons]Kuiper Belt [asteroids, dwarf planets]Orcus+ (dwarf planet) [1 moon, Vanth]Pluto+ (dwarf planet) [1 planet, Charon, 3 moons]Charon+ (dwarf planet) [1 planet, Pluto, 3 moons]Haumea+ (dwarf planet) [2 moons]Quaoar+ (dwarf planet) [1 moon, Weywot]Makemake+ (dwarf planet)Eris (dwarf planet) [1 moon, Dysnomia]"Snow White" (2007 OR10) (dwarf planet)Sedna (dwarf planet)Oort Cloud [comets, asteroids]Nemesis# (red dwarf star, theoretical)*Orbits within Asteroid Belt+Orbits within Kuiper Belt#Theoretical, sort of like Bigfoot
