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.

many moons.
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.
Venus and Mercury are the only planets in the Solar System that do Not have any moons. Even Pluto, a dwarf planet, has a moon.
