(ORDO NEWS) — The planetary systems that surround us are in some ways similar to ours, but in some ways they are radically different.
When we look at the moon, it seems that it is the only one, but, in fact, there are many satellites in the solar system belonging to different planets.
Here are some interesting facts about them.
Which planet has the most moons?
Saturn leads in the number of moons, followed immediately by Jupiter.
How many moons does Saturn have?
Saturn has 82 moons. Of these, 53 are confirmed satellites and 29 are temporary satellites that need to be confirmed with additional observations.
What planets are in the solar system?
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.
How many moons does Jupiter have?
Jupiter has 79 moons: 53 confirmed, 26 temporary.
Which planet has no moons?
Both Mercury and Venus have no moons.
What is the name of Earth’s moon?
Earth only has one moon (as you might have noticed if you’ve ever looked up at night.) Our moon is simply called the Moon because, according to NASA, it was the only moon we knew existed before.
Many other moons in the solar system take their names from mythological figures. For example, one of Neptune’s moons is called Triton, after the son of Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea.
How many moons does Neptune have?
14. Neptune ranks fourth in terms of the number of satellites.
How many moons does Uranus have?
27. Uranus takes an honorable third place.
What planets have rings?
Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune have rings. Saturn has the brightest rings, made of ice and rocks, and some scientists believe their formation may be related to the planet’s many moons.
On which planet does it rain diamonds?
Diamond precipitation is possible on Uranus, Neptune and Saturn.
Which planet is the brightest right now?
Mars and Jupiter can be seen in the night sky in August 2022 (although you may need binoculars or a telescope).
August actually began with the conjunction of Mars and Uranus, and closer to the middle of the month, you can see the convergence of Jupiter and the Moon.
