How many planets does Earth's moon have?

Earth's Moon has no planets, unless you consider Earth to be the Moon's planet.   A planet is defined as an object revolving around the Sun that is large enough to form itself into a sphere from the force of gravity, and yet not be so large as to create fusion like the Sun.  It also must clear its orbit of other dust and debris.  A moon, on the other hand, is an object that revolves around a planet.


What are the three elements of the definition of planet?

In order to be a planet, a body must be orbiting a sun or the remnant of a sun; it must be massive enough to have formed into a spherical shape because of its gravity, and it must have cleared its neighborhood of debris.


What is a defined shape?

A defined shape is a geometric figure with distinct boundaries and characteristics. It has a clear outline or structure that sets it apart from other shapes. Examples include circles, squares, triangles, and rectangles.


Is it true or false dwarf planets do not clear the neighborhood around its orbit?

True. Dwarf planets do not clear the neighborhood around their orbit, which is one of the key criteria that distinguishes them from full-fledged planets. While they are large enough to be rounded by their own gravity, they share their orbital zone with other objects of similar size. This characteristic is why celestial bodies like Pluto are classified as dwarf planets rather than planets.


How do gravity and inertia work together in the solar system?

Gravity is the force that pulls objects towards each other, such as the sun and planets in our solar system. Inertia is the tendency of objects to resist changes in their motion. Gravity keeps planets in orbit around the sun by balancing the planets' inertia with the force of gravity pulling them towards the sun.

Why aren't the planets in different shapes?

The planets mass creates gravity which pulls it into a spherical shape. This is the difference between planets and other heavenly bodies such as moons and asteroids. To be defined as a planet, a body must have enough gravity to pull itself into a spherical shape and it's gravity must be sufficient to clear its area of other debris.


What property of a planet determines if the planet can have an atmosphere?

The mass of the planet. It's not clear cut, since there has to be gas around in the area to provide the atmosphere, but the planet (or moon) need to be massive enough to provide sufficient gravity for the gas molecules not to escape into space.

What are four properties of a planet?

Four properties of a planet are: 1) Orbits around a star; 2) Has sufficient mass for self-gravity to form a nearly round shape; 3) Has cleared its orbit of other debris; 4) Is not a satellite of another body.
