Space Trivia Questions and Answers (Astronomy Trivia Quiz) 

Nicely done!

Me 19😢

Good work! Yea I hear ya. Moons can get tough to remember.

A way to remember is to learn Greek and Roman mythologies. Most of the times - names of minor gods, patrons, minions, or related things of that particular god are given to the satellites. E.g. - Saturn was the main god of Titanic race of Roman god. Thus, most of satellites of Saturn are named after titanic mythological people like Prometheus, Iaeptus, Tethys, Epimetheus, Phoebe, Enceladus, and et al. Jupiter is the major olympian god so he has his people as his satellites. Io, Europa, Callisto were Jupiter's mortal girlfriends. Ganymede was his cup-bearer and so on. So, knowing mythologies makes it easier. However, it won't work all the time. For example, moons of Uranus are named mostly from Shakespeare's works however for Neptune, mythologies still work.

It's easy. You just have to remember them in pairs, with their planet and a unique feature of the planet Example - A group of 4 moons, Ganymede Callisto Io Europa, belong to Jupiter. Unique feature = Biggest planet The ones I find the easiest to remember are uranus's moons since they have human like names. (Bianca, Ariel, Margaret, Ophelia, etc...)

Rocket ships and Space are such cool topics! All the best to your Space channel!

Nicely done George. Glad you found it fun/interesting!

Estimates range from 10B to 20B years, these are just the current best estimates, subject to learning more and refining the answer.

Nicely done! Thank for playing

That is a false myth, along with some other stuff that was propagated about 20 years ago and debunked when the Soviet space records were opened to the world.

Nicely done Carina! You sure know your Astronomy Trivia!

Wow r u an astronaut n ur name is also carina and if i am correct carina is name of a constellation in the night sky

Nice work. Thanks for playing 🙏

It keeps changing every few months or so. It is currently at 95 as of March 23 2023 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moons_of_Jupiter

it also depends on how you define "moon". If you want to count all the chunks of anything orbiting Jupiter, it's in the multiple thousands. If you use the official scientific definition of a planetary moon, it's currently 95.

What did you "gave" this quiz?

Thanks for the correction.

You’re right. 53 moons named and 79 (so far) estimated.

​@@Apptato it has 92... you're both wrong

@@lukeH7272 Well that makes the 3 of us. Jupiter now has 95 moons :P en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moons_of_Jupiter

You're still wrong the actual information is between 85 and 95 but the closest definitive answer is 92

Thanks for playing KingX777.
