???? Number of Moons in the Planets of the Solar System
Each planet in our solar system has a different number of natural satellites, or moons. Here's the latest count:
Mercury: 0 moons
➤ Too close to the Sun, with weak gravity to hold a moon.
Venus: 0 moons
➤ Like Mercury, Venus also has no moons due to its location and gravity.
Earth: 1 moon
➤ Known as the Moon—Earth’s only natural satellite.
Mars: 2 moons
➤ Phobos and Deimos. Small and oddly shaped, likely captured asteroids.
Jupiter: 95 moons (and counting)
➤ Includes major moons like Io, Europa, Ganymede (the largest moon in the solar system), and Callisto.
Saturn: 146 moons (currently the most)
➤ Hosts many moons, both large and small, including Titan, which is larger than Mercury.
Uranus: 28 moons
➤ Most are named after characters from Shakespeare's plays, such as Titania and Oberon.
Neptune: 16 moons
➤ The most famous is Triton, a large moon with a retrograde orbit (it orbits in the opposite direction of the planet's rotation).
