How many moons are there in total for the planets in the solar system?
Earth 1 Mars 2 Jupiter 63 Saturn 60 Uranus 27 Neptune 13 So, that is a total of 166 know satellites for the planets in our solar system. Note, that I wrote, “know satellites”. This is because we don’t know if we have actually found all of the moons of the outer planets. With respect to Saturn, this number gets even murkier because we don’t have a good dividing line to separate moons from ring particles. Technically, every single ring particle orbiting Saturn could be considered a moon. If we take the definition to this extreme, then the number of moons skyrockets.
