Why does the size of a planet affects how many moons it has?
The size of a planet affects its gravitational pull, which plays a crucial role in capturing and retaining moons. Larger planets have stronger gravity, allowing them to attract and hold onto more objects in their vicinity, leading to a greater number of moons. Additionally, larger planets can also have more extensive debris fields, increasing the likelihood of capturing asteroids or other celestial bodies as moons. Smaller planets, by contrast, may lack the gravitational strength to maintain multiple moons.
