tidal waves

Yes, the number of moons can affect the mass of a planet to some extent, as the gravitational pull between the planet and its moons can influence each other. However, the effect is usually minimal compared to the mass of the planet itself.
Yes. The massive giant planets have far more moons than the less massive terrestrial planets.
The next most likely candidates for life in our solar system are moons like Europa, Enceladus, and Titan. These moons have subsurface oceans that could potentially harbor microbial life. Additionally, there is ongoing research to explore the potential for life on these moons.
In our solar system, at least, the planet with the greatest mass does happen to be the one with the most known moons. But I think the cause and effect work the other way. It's not the moons that give the planet strong gravity. It's the strong gravity of the planet that captures a bunch of moons.
Water on Mars exists mostly in the form of ice, with some evidence of liquid water in the past. On moons like Europa and Enceladus, there are subsurface oceans of liquid water beneath icy crusts. Water vapor has also been detected in the atmospheres of several moons in our solar system.
The moons gravitational pull on the earth lifts the Earth's oceans causing the ebb and flow of the tides.
The oceans
Europa has frozen oceans.
7,566 moons

Some planets with three moons include Neptune, Uranus, and Jupiter. These moons vary in size and characteristics, with some being relatively small and others having unique features such as volcanoes or subsurface oceans. Moons play a crucial role in shaping a planet's environment and gravitational dynamics.
The moons gravitational pull is what causes tides.
The sun has no moons. Moons are natural satellites of a planet. The equivalent structure for suns is planets themselves.
Yes. The massive giant planets have far more moons than the less massive terrestrial planets.
Triton, Ganymede, and Miranda are all moons in our solar system. They are some of the largest moons in the solar system and are known for their unique and diverse features. They all have icy surfaces and are believed to have subsurface oceans beneath their icy shells.

The moons gravity 'pulls' the earths water creating a 'tide.'
