there is one artificial satellite in orbit around Saturn called Cassini--Huygens, which entered orbit around the planet in 2004. Its still there now and may carry on orbiting the planet until 2017 and beyond.

Saturn has over 60 known natural satellites.

Why do the outer planets have more moons than the the inner planets?

because the planets are bigger and catch the sattelites as they are moving by. the inner planets are smallet and have less gravity, therefore not getting as much to catch some of the heavier sattelites. they are also the last planets to try and get them


When are satellites passing overhead visible in a dark clear sky?

When you are having a clear sky with stars to be seen, fat chance you can spot a Sattelite between them. not all sattelites "pass overhead" tough, many are fixed around 1 point in relation to the earth. They are in most cases to be reconised by a slight but relatively quick flickering. They are often less bright in the centre.

Do planets orbit around the sun?

YES!!! Together with their sattelites(moons). The nine planets that orbit the Sun from nearest to Sun to furthest are; - Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Asteroid Belt , Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. With the exception of Mercury and Venus, which have no sattelites, all the other planets have sattelites, which partner their parent planet on there orbit around the Sun. All the planets orbits the Sun in approximately the same plane. However, there are comets and meteors which orbit the Sun in different planes, Notably Halley's Comet.
