Enjoy this simple educational comparison of 10 biggest moons of our Solar System. Our Planet Earth has just one moon, but some planets have dozens of them. Others don’t have any. Which planets have moons, and which don’t?
Let’s go in order from the Sun.
Start with Mercury and Venus. Neither of them has a moon. Up next is Earth, and of course we have one moon. Mars has two moons. Their names are Phobos and Deimos. Next are the giant outer planets. They have lots of moons. Jupiter, for instance, has 95 known moons! As of June 8, 2023, Saturn has 146 moons. And that’s not counting Saturn’s beautiful rings! Uranus has 28 known moons that we know of. Some of them are half made of ice. Lastly, Neptune has 16 known moons. One of Neptune's moons, Triton, is as big as dwarf planet Pluto.
And let's compare 10 biggest moons of our Solar System. Kids will see moons, can compare them, their diameter and the planets to orbit around.
=====================================
According to the NASA/JPL Solar System Dynamics team, the current tally of moons orbiting planets in our solar system is 293: One moon for Earth; two for Mars; 95 at Jupiter; 146 at Saturn; 28 at Uranus; 16 at Neptune; and five for dwarf planet Pluto.
