If a planet doesn't follow its orbital path, then it may crash into other planets, moons and/or other object floating around in space.
Jupiter's moon Io may be the most volcanically active object in the solar system. Some of Io's volcanoes have been observed to erupt into orbit.
As of 2011, Saturn has at least 62 known moons. These moons vary in size and are divided into different groups based on their orbits around the planet. More moons may have been discovered since then.
No. If an object orbits the sun it is not considered a moon. Depending on its size, composition, and location it may be considered a planet, dwarf planet, asteroid, or comet.
When two oceanic plates collide, one may be pushed under the other and cause magma from the mantle to rise, forming a volcanoe or volcanoes. When two continential plates collide at a reverse fault tectonic earthquakes occur.
Yes! A moon is an astronomical object (or natural satellite) that orbits a larger planet. Earth has 1 moon.Some dwarf planets and even asteroids may have moons, although orbital dynamics seem to work against moons having moons of their own.
Of the eight planets in our solar system, the first two (Mercury and Venus) have no natural satellites. The dwarf planets Pluto and Eris have six moons between them. There is no relationship between the number of moons an object has and whether or not it is a planet. Planets may have no moons, while objects that are not planets may have multiple moons. In general, the larger the planet, the more moons it tends to have.
Jupiter has 63 moons at the last count, but some of these may not be proper moons, but captured asteroids.
Jupiter has 67 moons it has the most number of moons in the solar system.
None. Io is itself one of the moons of the planet Jupiter. No moon has its own moons.
If a planet doesn't follow its orbital path, then it may crash into other planets, moons and/or other object floating around in space.
No. An object orbiting a star would not be called a moon. If an object orbiting a star is large enough and is the dominant object in its orbital path, then it is considered a planet. A similar object that does not dominate its orbital path is a dwarf planet. Smaller objects may be called asteroids or comets.
None. The sun is a star, and no moons rotate around stars.
Jupiter's moon Io may be the most volcanically active object in the solar system. Some of Io's volcanoes have been observed to erupt into orbit.
Uranus has 27 known moons, making it the planet in our solar system with the most moons. There is a possibility that more undiscovered moons may be orbiting Uranus.
Venus has no moons. It may have had some before but now it has no moons.
