Of the eight planets in the Solar System, the only two that have no moons are Mercury and Venus. Earth has one moon, Mars two, and the gas giants Jupiter Saturn Uranus and Neptune have dozens between them - no one really knowing just how many there are as new ones are being discovered each year. The first member of the minor planets beyond Neptune - Pluto - is now not designated as a major planet. It has at least three moons. There are many more minor planets beyond Pluto that have moons - and again these are being discovered yearly.

∙ 12y agoSo far, no moons have been found around Mercury and Venus. That would add up to two moonless 'real' planets. The over 40 dwarf planets that have recently been discovered cannot be commented upon as to whether they have moons or not. Extra-solar system planets cannot be commented upon.

Both Mercury and Venus have no known moons. They are the two planets closest to the Sun.

Mercury and Venus. They are the two closest planets to the Sun.

Does the sun have a moon?
The sun has 8 or 9 major planets and thousands of smaller objects orbiting around it. Some of the planets have many moons. (eg Neptune has 13) It can have moons but so far all of the moons are to close to the planets to get caught in the sun's orbit.
How many moons altogether in space?
In our Solar System, 173 moons around planets are recognized, as well as over 200 moons around minor planets.
How many moons orbit around the sun?
There are 180 moons in our solar system.
Gas giants have many more moons than terrestrial planets due to have higher?
Gas giants have a higher mass. This means that the gas giants have a more gravity to hold moons in orbit around them.
Why do the gas planets have many moons?
The gas planets are much more massive than the terrestrial planets and therefore have stronger gravity. It is believed that as they formed many of their moons formed around them much like the planets formed around the sun. Other moons are likely captured asteroids and comets.
How many moons do the suns have?
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.
How many planets orbit around Mars?
No planets orbit around Mars. There are two moons that orbit around Mars.
How many moons in the Solar System orbit around the planets?
169 moons.
How are moons and planets alike?
Most but not all larger MOONS (bodies that orbit planets, moons, or asteroids) accreted in the same way that PLANETS did, assuming a variable density and a nearly spherical shape. Very large moons such as Titan have many of the characteristics of planets: vulcanism, atmospheres, and weather. Generally speaking, moons orbit planets in the same way that planets orbit stars.
How many planets does Mars have?
Mars is a planet in its own right. It has two small known moons in orbit around it.
Does the sun have a moon?
The sun has 8 or 9 major planets and thousands of smaller objects orbiting around it. Some of the planets have many moons. (eg Neptune has 13) It can have moons but so far all of the moons are to close to the planets to get caught in the sun's orbit.
What planets have the most amount of moons?
The four outer planets have many moons each, while the inner planets only have three between all of the, two for Mars and one in orbit around the Earth. The planet with the most is Jupiter, with 63 confirmed moons.
How many planets dose Mars have?
Mars itself is a planet. If you are asking how many moons it has, it has two moons that orbit it.
How many moons orbit around the planet and describe them?
many moons
How many moons orbit around the planet Uranus?
27 moons orbit Uranus that we know of
Are there any other moons in the solar system?
There are 176 known moons that have been discovered so far in our solar system. These are small bodies that orbit a planet or dwarf planet. 169 moons orbiting six planets (includes Earth's Moon) 7 moons orbiting three dwarf planets There are other bodies that orbit the Sun, or that orbit dwarf planet candidates. There are as many as 58 satellites of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) and around 104 asteroid moons (orbit around larger asteroids).
How many planets are in orbit around Rush Limbaugh?
No planets orbit around Rush Limbaugh.
