These moons orbit close to planetary rings, and with their gravity, prevent the rings from dispersing, like shepherds.
yes moons are satellites to other planets
Moons orbit most planets. Moons are celestial bodies that revolve around a planet in a predictable path due to gravitational forces. They vary in size and composition and play a significant role in shaping the planets they orbit.
Moons are natural satellites, yes.
no, mercury and venus are the only two planets that do not have moons.
Mercury has no satellites.
yes moons are satellites to other planets
No, not all satellites are moons. Satellites are objects that orbit a planet or other celestial body, while moons specifically refer to natural satellites that orbit planets. Artificial satellites, such as those used for communication or scientific purposes, are not considered moons.
Moons are satellites. They orbit planets.
Moons are satellites of planets.
Yes. "Moons" are _natural_ satellites, as opposed to the artificial satellites that we build here on Earth and launch into space on rockets.
Yes but they are called natural satellites
In astronomy, the term "moon" specifically refers to a natural satellite that orbits a planet, like Earth's moon. Satellites, on the other hand, can refer to both natural moons and artificial objects placed into orbit around planets. So, while all moons are satellites, not all satellites are moons.

I don't know of any planet with exactly 21 known moons. The best answer is probably "Uranus" with 27 moons (natural satellites).
Jupiter has 63 moons or satellites.
