What plants have no moons?
Only Mercury and Venus dont have any moons.
What planet with no moons?
Mercury and Venus are the only planets in our Solar System without any natural satellites (moons).Read more: Which_two_planets_have_no_moon
Why are there so many moons?
In addition to the moons that formed with the planets themselves, there are many more that were part of the huge number of asteroids, comets, rocks, and ice chunks that exist in the solar system. While some were destroyed by planetary collisions, others were able to establish stable orbits around the larger planets. The large moon of Neptune, Triton, is believed to have been a wandering object in the Kuiper Belt (like Pluto) that veered too close to Neptune's gravity and became captured.
Why does Saturn have the most moons compared to the other planets?
Jupiter and Saturn are very large and massive, their gravitational influence is a lot greater than the inner planets. There were also a lot more bodies to 'catch' further out at their distances. Saturns rings and many smaller moons may have originally come from fewer but larger moons that have broken up over time.
What are some moons names in the milky way galaxy?
Because we only know the names of the planets in our Solar System, the right question could have been "What are the planets in our solar system?" which is of course very elementary. Some people can sometimes get confused between solar system and galaxy
How planets and moon are alike and different?
Planets and moons are both celestial bodies that orbit around a larger body, such as a star like the Sun. However, planets are typically larger in size, have more mass, and are able to support their own atmosphere, while moons are smaller and often lack an atmosphere of their own. Moons generally orbit around planets, while planets orbit around stars.
What planets in the galaxy have moons?
In our own solar system, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune have moons. Of the 300+ "exoplanets" that have been discovered (planets that orbit other stars) we would not expect to be able to detect moons from so far away. The probability that some of those planets will have moons is very great, however.

How are the planets able to orbit the sun?
Its all thanks to the Sun's gravitational pull.
Why do inner planets have less moons then outer planets?
Because when they are close to the sun first of all they are are smaller so if they had a moon the moon would have to be kinda small. And also the planets close to the sun are made to be able to get to high temperatures. Earth can't get satellites to Mercury and a moon is related to the satellites and the moon would burn up in the heat. All mass has gravity. The inner planets cannot "hang on" to their moons due to their lack of mass, therefore they are unable to overcome the suns gravitational affect on the moons which would pull them into the sun. The outer planets can "hang on" to their moons and attract more because of their mass (therefore gravity). The distance from the sun has less of an impact on these moons, therefore, the sun cannot pull any of the moons away from the outer planets. Also, the outer planets are "kind of" moon magnets due to their gravitational pull.

Why are more moons known today?
More moons have been discovered in recent times thanks to improvements in technology, and space probe missions that are sent to the outer planets. These are able to send back detailed images and information on some of the more smaller moons that cant be seen from Earth. There may well be further moons around these outer planets that have not been discovered yet.
Do all planets revolve around the sun at the same speed?
No. Each moves at a different speed. We can calculate that speed of orbit by knowing the distance of the orbit and the mass of the Sun. When observing other bodies, such as the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, we can use the observed distances and orbital times to calculate the mass of Jupiter or Saturn! Astronomers observing nearby stars are able to detect the faint decrease in light as a planet "transits" the star, passing between the star and us on Earth. Because they are able to precisely measure the time for each orbit, they are able to calculate the mass of the primary star much more accurately!
Why does Saturn have the most moons compared to the other planets?
Jupiter and Saturn are very large and massive, their gravitational influence is a lot greater than the inner planets. There were also a lot more bodies to 'catch' further out at their distances. Saturns rings and many smaller moons may have originally come from fewer but larger moons that have broken up over time.
Why does the sun is able to hold the planets in orbit?
Exactly the same way the earth is able to hold the satellite in orbit that your neighbor gets his TV from,through that little dish on the outside of his house.It's the force of gravity between the central body and the things orbiting around it.
How many planets have fewer moons than earth but have a stronger gravity?
No planets in our solar system fit that description. There may be some outside our solar system that do, but we can't see those well enough yet to be able to tell.
