what other planets have moons?how are they similar or different from moons?What are their names?

well all the planets have moons exept mercury and venus  There are 240 known moons within the Solar system, including 162 orbiting the planets here is a link  u can find more info and the names on the moons\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_satellite

I cannot think of an example. Pluto, even if not considered a planet, is not a moon, but a Kuiper belt object. So the fact that Charon is a moon of Pluto is not sufficient. However, it's possible that we find such a rare phenomenon, since it's not against the physical laws.

In the Solar System Venus and Mars among the planets, the Moon and possibly some of the outer planets satellites such as Ganymede, Triton and even strange little Pluto/Charon maybe very similar to Earth being that all the planets formed from the same cloud of dust, gas and other space debris at the same time around 4.6 billion years ago.

They are called extrasolar planets, and there is great info about them at the following sites\n\nhttp://www.nineplanets.org/other.html\nhttp://curious.astro.cornell.edu/extrasolarplanets.php\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extrasolar_planets\n\nFor a definitive list, try this site\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_stars_with_confirmed_extrasolar_planets\n\n55 Cancri is an interesting one, as many feel it has similar characteristics to earth\n\nhttp://curious.astro.cornell.edu/question.php?number=135\n\nHope that helps!

During my Time Travels I did do some Intergalactic Exploration. When I was in Grid 946 Quadrilateral 47, the solar system was similar to your solar system. Basically we ( my Friends and myself) observed than any planetary structure is protected from outside forces due to Gravity and Atmosphere. Moons, as you are accustomed to calling them lack those two important aspects, thus, any outside forces bombard those structures and they similar to the moon as larger structures with gravity and atmosphere are similar to Earth. It simple Physics according to Earth's Concept. Once your Scientist understand Dimensions, then you understand the many things you now consider mystery.

Jupiter as of now has 63 recognised moons.  Dr. Scott Shepard maintains a wonderfull webpage detailing all of them, their names, physical data and discovery.  Rather than just copying and pasting a large block of text I recomend that you check out his web page for all the info you request.

8 - Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.  Almost assurdly there are no more big ones.  There are also a class of planets called "dwarf planets", including Pluto and a couple of others.

it all depends of what sun and what moon ur talking about the smallest suns in the universe are call red dwarf an are very common in the universe they  are a fifth of our suns size. there is also several gigantic planets as 70 virgins which is 6.6 times bigger than Jupiter so it is highly possible that at least one of those million of gigantic planets may have a moon bigger than a red dwarf

Sol (our solar system) consists of 9 planets, over 140 moons (to date) and several small cosmic objects (comets and asteroids).\n\nMercury (0 moons)\nVenus (0 moons)\nEarth (1 moon)\nMars (2 moons)\nJupiter (63 moons as of 2004)\nSaturn (34 moons)\nUranus (21 named moons, 6 unnamed moons)\nNeptune (8 named moons, 5 unnamed moons)\nPluto (1 moon)\n\nThere have been discoveries of more "planetary objects" beyond Pluto, but they have not been declared to be planets in the same sense as the others.

Because although the moon is as big as a planet, it does not have the characteristics of a planet. Jupiter's moon is a moon because it displays characteristics of a moon, like orbiting Jupiter and being stuck into Juptier's gravational pull.

http://www.iau.org\nhttp://www.iau.org/fileadmin/content/pdfs/Resolution_GA26-5-6.pdf\n\non 24 august 2006, the international astronomical union reclassified pluto.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pluto\n\npluto does orbit the sun, is ball-shaped and is not a satellite, but it does not have an isolated orbit (a bunch of other similar bodies have similar orbits.) so it is not a planet.\n\ni have been waiting for this since i was about ten when i learned that pluto didn't fit the pattern set by the major bodies in the solar system so it was an anomaly. it just felt "out of place". now that astronomers have found hundreds of other bodies with similar orbits, classifying "134340 pluto" as a planet is even more irrational. i feel somewhat satisfied, but i don't know how long this will drag on tho. many planetary astronomers are satisfied that the definition is rigorous enuf. i can accept that the definition is flawed, but i can not accept that "134340 pluto" is a planet.\n\nthis was the right thing to do, believe me. this does not change anything about pluto or the solar system. this just corrects the mistake of classifying pluto as a planet initially.\n\nthis same thing happened has happened before.  in 1800, an astronomer found a body orbiting between the orbits of mars and jupiter and thought it was a planet.  astronomers finally stopped classifying them as planets after they found several other bodies with similar orbits, and no one thinks ceres, pallas, juno, and vesta are planets today.\n\nmany astronomers consider pluto and charon to be a binary system, but two small bodies orbit that system. they are called nix and hydra.\n\nincidentally, "134340 pluto" was never a moon of neptune. neptune did capture triton. this is why triton has a retrograde orbit

Well, there's nine so far - Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.  However, scientists have discovered other planets that orbit our Sun that are even further out than Pluto!  So there's a possibility that we may update our information involving the solar system sometime in the future....

There are and were other planets/moons that have volcanic activity.\n\nMars\nMars has the remnants of the largest volcano mountain.  The volcano would be the size of Arizona.  It is not active at the moment.  See the first link below for more information.\n\nIo - Moon\nThe recent Galileo trip to Jupiter revealed that its moon Io is very geologically active.  In its flyby back in 2000 it detected 10 new volcanoes.  81 volcanoes have been observed on Io.  See the second link for the CNN story.\n\nNevertheless, there are some other geologically active objects in our solar system.  There are certainly other objects that are active in the universe.

Of the inner, rocky, planets, Mercury and Venus have no moons, Earth has one, and Mars has two tiny little ones, called phobos and deimos (fear and hatred). Our moon is actually named Luna.

Several:\n\nVenus. \nJupiter.\nSaturn\nNeptune.\nUranus.\n\n\nAnd some moons have clouds:\n\nJupiter's Galilean moons Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto have dust clouds from micrometeorites. \n\nSaturn's moon titan has methane clouds apparently.

50 moons are currently confirmed, 34 of which have names. The precise figure will never be certain as the orbiting chunks of ice in Saturn's rings are all technically moons, and it is difficult to draw a distinction between a large ring particle and a tiny moon. Saturn's most noteworthy moon is Titan, the only moon in the solar system to have a dense atmosphere.\n\nThis website for confirmation and more info -->http://www.planetary.org/saturn/moons.html\n\nGod is spelled B-I-G B-A-N-G\nPBrax@netscape.com

what? further than the earth in relation to the sun, would be mars. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and one we cant quite see yet.\nI'm not sure i understand your ?, but i hope this helps. sometime pluto comes closer than neptune, because of the orbits. click on this link, then scole down the page it brings you to.\nhttp://www.sciencemonster.com/planets.html
