Welcome to the future! Let us learn about number of moons orbiting each of the eight planets in our solar system. Mercury, the closest planet to the Sun, does not have any moons. Similar to Mercury, Venus also does not have any moons. Earth has one natural satellite, simply called the Moon. It plays a significant role in Earth's tides and has been explored extensively by humans. Mars has two small moons named Phobos and Dimos. They are regularly shaped and thought to be captured asteroids. Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, has the most moons. Some of its well-known moons include Ganymede, Kalisto, Io, and Europa. Saturn, famous for its majestic rings, has numerous moons. Its largest moon, Titan, is even larger than the planet Mercury. Uranus has a relatively large number of moons, but they are much smaller compared to those of Jupiter and Saturn. Lastly, Neptune, the outermost planet in our solar system, has 14 confirmed moons. Triton is its largest moon and is notable for its retrograde orbit.
