Saturn
Satellites are objects placed in orbit by human enterprise. Moons are natural satellites because they orbit planets or other smaller celestial bodies, but are formed in some way out side our control. IE: collisions, captured dwarf planets, or created out of the same Protoplanetary Disk as it's primary.
True. Uranus has 27 known moons, which is more than any other planet in our solar system.
No, Earth is not the only planet in our solar system with natural satellites. Several other planets, including Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, also have natural satellites or moons. For example, Jupiter has over 70 known moons, while Saturn has more than 80. Thus, Earth is just one of many planets with natural satellites.
Each of the four gas giants have a ring system, but they all have more than eight known moons or satellites.
Saturn has more moons than any other planet in our solar system.

No, Saturn is known to have more moons than Jupiter, though most of these are tiny moonlets orbiting in Saturn's rings.

Earth. Earth has one natural satellite, the moon, which is in orbit around the earth. There are around 3000 man made satellites currently in orbit. Jupiter has the most natural satellites (moons), over 60 have been confirmed. It has no man made satellites in orbit around it, but did have one between 1995 and 2003, an orbiter called Galileo.
Uranus is the planet that has ten moons. The moons lie closer to the planet's surface than any other planet.
Each of the four gas giants have a ring system, but they all have more than eight known moons or satellites.
Yes. The density of the Galilean moons decreases with increasing distance from the planet. This decrease in density is likely due to the higher ice-to-rock ratio in the farther moons.
No, a moon cannot be bigger than a planet. Moons are natural satellites that orbit planets, and they are typically much smaller in size compared to the planets they orbit.
