One obvious difference is: our moon is the only one so far observed whose rotational and orbital periods are the same (we only see one side of it from here). Also, Earth seems to be the only planet with only one moon. Some other differences are: chemical and mineral makeup, many of the moons are far enough from the sun that they have some type of ice on their surface (like ammonia or carbon dioxide).

What is the average number of moons per planet?
The average number of moons per planet in our solar system is approximately 2. The eight planets in our solar system have a wide range of moon counts, with some having none (like Mercury and Venus) and others having dozens (like Jupiter and Saturn). When you calculate the total number of moons in the solar system and divide by the number of planets, you get an average of around 2 moons per planet.
Why do people have different weight on different planets or on the moon?
Because different planets have different mass, which means that gravity is weaker or stronger depending on the mass. If gravity is stronger than objects will have more weight, and if it's weaker they will have less weight.
What percentage of people know what a blue moon is?
A blue Moon is when 2 full moons happen in 1 month.
Why is Venus considered Earths twin?
Venus is considered Earth's twin because it is similar in size, composition, and gravity to Earth. Both planets have rocky surfaces and similar densities. However, Venus has a thick atmosphere that is mostly carbon dioxide, leading to extremely high temperatures and pressure on its surface.
What is true about an objects weight but not about its mass?
An objects weight is the amount of the pull of gravity on an object. On the other hand, mass is the amount of matter in an object. You`re mass is the same on every planet. For example, lets say on earth you weighed 100 pounds. On Venus you would weigh the same. BUT, you`re weight is different on different planets. For example, on the moon, the amount of the pull of gravity on you would be different in a way that you would be 70% lighter. Hope that helps. Adios! And no, I am NOT Spanish.(False) It would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth.
Why do Mars' moons look like asteroids?
Because its simple all the planets moons are asteroids except for Earths it was part of Earth at one time and ours is different because we rock.
Why do Mars's two moons look like asteroids?
Because its simple all the planets moons are asteroids except for Earths it was part of Earth at one time and ours is different because we rock.
Why do Mars two moons look like asteroids?
Because its simple all the planets moons are asteroids except for Earths it was part of Earth at one time and ours is different because we rock.
How are other planets compared with earth?
some planets are bigger and some are smaller. some have different atmospheres. some of the planets are almost pure gas. some planets have as much as like 60 moons while ours only has one
How does Charon's orbit around Pluto different from the orbits of most moons around their planets?
Charon orbits once every time Pluto rotates once. Other moons(including ours)don't do that.
How are planets different from moon?
Planets circle the sun Moons cirle planets.
Why are moons and planets different?
Planets are bodies that orbit a central star (in our case, the Sun), and moons are smaller bodies that orbit planets.
Do all planets have the same number of moons as earth?
No, the planets have different number of moons, from zero to about 60-70.
Is Jupiter and Saturn the only ones with a lot of moons?
Not only Saturn and Jupiter have many moons, there are many planets that can have many moons because there are many solar system s in the Universe except ours.
How many moons do the suns have?
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.
What are moons to planets?
Moons are satellites of planets.
Can exosolar planets possess life or moons?
Moons, yes. Life, quite possibly. While every planet is unique, the planets in other solar systems are not so different from the planets in ours so as to not have moons. We have even detected possible evidence of moons, though it is very hard to verify across interstellar distances. Life is somewhat harder as only one known planet (Earth) has life, so we do not know that the probabilities are. We have found planets orbiting other stars which may be in the right temperature range to support life, but we can't actually tell if they can.
