Deimos, the smaller of the two moons of Mars, is the smallest moon in the solar system to orbit a terrestrial planet. It is irregular in shape but averages about 12 kilometers or about 9 miles across.
Mercury is the largest terrestrial planet without a moon. It is the smallest of the eight planets in our solar system and does not have any natural satellites orbiting around it.
The moon is often considered alongside terrestrial planets because it shares similarities with them, such as being solid and rocky in composition, lacking a significant atmosphere, and orbiting a star (in this case, Earth). Including the moon in discussions of terrestrial planets can provide insights into the formation and geology of rocky bodies in our solar system.
Neither, it is a `moon` or natural satellite orbiting Jupiter.
In terms of the earth, there is only one moon orbiting around it. In terms of other planets, some planets, like Mars or Venus and Murcury have no moons. Other's like all the Gas Giants have more than one moon orbiting it.
As of now, the only planet known to have its own moon is Earth. Other planets in our solar system have moons but no planets of their own. In our solar system, moons primarily orbit around planets rather than planets orbiting around other planets.

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.
No. The moon is not a planet; it is a moon. If it had its own orbit around the sun it would be considered a terrestrial planet.
The smallest moons are S/2003 J9 and S/2003 J12, orbiting Jupiter. The biggest moon is Ganymede, also orbiting Jupiter.
Yes, Earth has the largest moon, which is called the Moon. It is bigger in comparison to the moons of other terrestrial planets such as Mars, Mercury, and Venus.
No. There are no planets orbiting Earth.The Moon is not a planet.
none, but it does have 1 moon
Neither, it is a `moon` or natural satellite orbiting Jupiter.
Yes they can just about be. The largest moon in the solar system is Jupiter's Ganymede and that's a bit bigger than the smallest planet, Mercury.
There are four terrestrial planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. Of these planets, Earth is the largest and Mercury is the smallest.
From largest to smallest, the planets in our solar system are:JupiterSaturnUranusNeptuneEarthVenusMarsMercury.Ganymede (a moon orbiting Jupiter) and Titan (Saturn's moon) are bigger than Mercury.There are many more large planets outside the solar system.
