How Many Moons Does Each Planet Have?

Thursday, June 16, 2011
The moon when illuminated by the sun casts soft glows and bright ones depending on how much of the sun's rays bounce off its surface. The Earth is the only planet that has a visibly detailed moon that can be clearly seen when one witnesses it in the night sky. The moon's surface is quite noticeable with its marble-esque surface gleaming in all its simple beauty, where it depends on the sun to shine forth. The moon has an important role to play on planet Earth, where it controls the ocean's tides and governs how it shifts and falls. The moon is actually a satellite that sits in the sky as it orbits the Earth, held up by a gravitational force that balances not just the moon but other cosmic bodies in the universe.

To better study the moon, it would be of great use to own a powerful telescope that could catch the intricacies of its surface on a full moon night. The other planets in the solar system also have moons of their own and this find is quite a fascinating one. Imagine if the Earth had more moons than one? Like if another happened to somehow just pop up in our night sky? That would be something. Over the years moons have come and gone, with many of them changing in number as time has lapsed. The only two planets that do not have any moons as of today are.
