The total number of moons owned by the terrestrial planets is three, and that's a stretch, as one of Mar's moons is almost certainly a captured asteroid. The gas planets have scores of moons among them, mostly because they are much larger, hence have much greater gravity, and attract more moons among them.

Do terrestrial planets have numerous orbiting moons?

None of those in out solar system do. Of the four terrestrial planets in our solar system, two have moons. Earth has one moon while Mars has two. The Jovian planets all have numerous moons.


Do All of the terrestrial planets have many moons?

No, not all terrestrial planets have many moons. For example, Mercury and Venus do not have any moons, while Earth has one moon (named Luna or the Moon), and Mars has two small moons (Phobos and Deimos).


Are any moons as large as terrestrial planets?

No, moons are not as large as terrestrial planets. Terrestrial planets like Earth, Mars, Venus, and Mercury are significantly larger in size and mass compared to moons in our solar system. The largest moons, such as Ganymede and Titan, are much smaller in size compared to terrestrial planets.


Is the moon the same size as moons of the other terrestrial planets?

No, the moon is relatively larger compared to the moons of other terrestrial planets. It is the fifth largest moon in the solar system, with a diameter about one-quarter that of Earth. Other terrestrial planets, such as Mars and Mercury, have smaller moons in comparison.

Do terrestrial planets have more moons than the outer gas giants?

Terrestrial means on Earth so Earth is the only terrestrial planet This is incorrect, the first 4 planets are terrestrial as they are solidly bound planets. Pluto was also a terrestrial dwarf planet. Any planet can have moons but due to the gas giants having larger gravitational forces they have traditionally gathered more moons. Thusly, no.
