#Planet #Earth #Comparison Which planet in our solar system has the most moons? Planet's Natural Satellites | Planet's Moons Comparison (Moon, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Neptune, Uranus, Jupiter, Saturn, Sun)
For people thinking that Jupiter has 80 moons and that Saturn has 83, earlier this year many new moons were discovered 12 new Jupiter moons were discovered in February 2023, and 62 new Saturn moons were discovered in May 2023.
@@Spaceiscooltoreasearch That's what my comment is supporting 62 Saturn moons were discovered last May alone, almost doubling the known number of Saturn's moons.
@@FewVidsJustComments kinda, but Pluto is still the larger Dwarf planet. The point is that the center axis of that system is an empty point between Charon and Pluto.
@@FewVidsJustCommentsWell, The moons orbit the Pluto-Charon barycenter, but are still considered Pluto’s moons because he’s twice as big, and orbits closer to the barycenter.
@@coloniadelsarcasmoesteril123 not really, Venus is actually bigger than Mars, who has 2 moons, the real reason is that, thanks to their positions in the Solar System they barely have any close small object to capture into their orbits, and as they are too close to the Sun, any hypothetical moon would have a very unstable orbit, probably ending up leaving the planet or colliding with it.
Another reason that Mercury and Venus don’t have moons is maybe because Mercury might have been Venus’s moon but because of the sun’s gravity pulled Mercury away from Venus and went into orbit around the sun 🌕🌞🌑🌎🪐
your book is probably outdated, i found a book in my house that was from 1998, it says Jupiter has 16 moons, Saturn has 18, Uranus has 5 and Neptune has 4 lol
Mercury=0 moons. Venus=0 moons. Earth=1 moon=earth moon named Luna. Mars=2 small moons=mars named marte moons is phobos and deimos. Jupiter the largest planet=95 moons, big moons named io europa ganymede callisto. Saturn=145 moons=big moons is mimas, enceladus tethys dione rhea hyperion titan iapetus. Uranus=27 moons. Neptune=18 moons
Earth has two moons currently. Technically. One is extremely small and will eventually leave orbit. We trapped it for a certain durational time. So small. You can't see it with your naked eye.
While interesting, what I find most fascinating is that, by far, the biggest moon in relation to its planet, as well as the only planetary moon that is solitary is The Moon, Earth's Moon*. It gives The Moon a more prominent presence and symbolic meaning, juxtaposed to The Sun in many works/cultures even though The Moon is NOTHING, compared to The Sun. It is about 1.2% Earth's mass and 1/4 the size. In fact, even though Earth 1300 times smaller than Jupiter, The Moon is the 5th biggest moon in the entire Solar System, after Ganymede (J), Titan (S), Callisto (J), and Io (J), from biggest to smallest (initial of orbited planet in parenthesis). All this is probably due to The Moon's particular formation, hypothesized from a large collision between primordial Earth and Theia. *Yes, back when Pluto was a planet Charon had this honor, being half the size and 1/8 the mass, which cause Pluto and it to be tidally locked.... but since Pluto got demoted, Earth is special again.😀
