No moon in the solar system has a moon orbiting it. Scientists think that moons orbit too close to their planets to have their own moons as the orbits would be unstable. Why Pluto has five moons while Earth only has one is a complicated story about the unique histories of each planet, but is probably at least partly related to Pluto's greater distance from the sun, which allows it a larger sphere of influence despite its smaller mass, and its location in a debris field of smaller icy objects.
