Jupiter has 63 known natural satellites.
Saturn has 145 moons recognized by the International Astronomical Union. The number of moons increased substantially in May 2023 when 62 new moons were discovered by a team led by Edward Ashton, a postdoctoral fellow at the Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics.
There are 95 moons of Jupiter with confirmed orbits as of 23 March 2023. This number does not include a number of meter-sized moonlets thought to be shed from the inner moons, nor hundreds of possible kilometer-sized outer irregular moons that were only briefly captured by telescopes.
Jupiter has been described as its own little solar system because of the vast number of moons orbiting the planet. There are 63 moons around Jupiter, the most of any planet in the solar system. Four in particular, Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto, are planet sized. In 2003 alone, 23 new moons were discovered.
NASA created an incredible visualization of the orbits of 64 of Jupiter's moons. First you see the four innermost small moons, then the Galilean moons. Then, zooming out from the planet, they've tracked the orbits of 56 of the smaller moons orbiting within a mind-boggling 15 million miles of Jupiter.
By most counts, Jupiter has between 80 and 95 moons, but neither number captures the complexity of the Jovian system of moons, rings and asteroids. The giant planet commands thousands of small objects in its orbit.
Saturn now has over 100 known moons - more than any other planet.
Knowing how much of the sky around Jupiter they covered, and how many they'd miss for various reasons, they came up with their estimate of 600 moons that are 0.8 km wide or larger.
Due to its immense size, mass, and gravitational pull, Jupiter has the most satellites of any planet in the Solar System. At present, the Jovian system includes 80 known moons, though it is estimated that it may have over 200 moons and moonlets (the majority of which are yet to be confirmed and classified).
Jupiter isn't just king of the planets because its big, the gas giant also has the most moons. In total, scientists think Jupiter has 79 moons. Only 53 of those are named while the others await official designation.
A letter to shareholders said the new name is based on the fact that the planet Jupiter, considered to be the strongest among all planets, has 63 moons.
63 Moons Technologies Limited (stylised as 63 moons technologies), formerly Financial Technologies (India) Limited until 2016, is an Indian company which provides technology ventures, financial platforms and solutions for creating digital markets and marketplaces.
The inner most planets in the Solar system which come before the Earth from the sun, Mercury and Venus are the only two planets in the Entire Solar system which don't have any moons. Even Pluto, not a planet any more has 5 moons of it's own.
67 moons orbit the great gas giant Jupiter; of these, the four largest are known as the Galilean moons, having been discovered by Galileo Galilei using his telescope in 1610.
In 2019, Saturn captured the title of the planet with the most moons, after astronomers announced the ringed planet hosts 82 circling satellites. (That number was further bumped up to 83 in 2021.) But now, Jupiter just took back the crown.
Of the terrestrial (rocky) planets of the inner solar system, neither Mercury nor Venus have any moons at all, Earth has one and Mars has its two small moons.
There are 181 known moons in our Solar System which are orbiting planets and dwarf planets. Despite there being so many moons not every planet or dwarf planet has a moon.
Yes, Saturn has at least 150 moons and moonlets in total, though only 53 of these moons have been given official names. Most of these moons are small, icy bodies that are little more than parts of its impressive ring system.
Earth has no rings.
By gathering a total of 500 moons, you'll be able to travel to the Darker Side. Yes, seriously. While the previous level had a boss rush challenge with no checkpoints, the Darker Side features one of the most intense, demanding and lengthy platforming sequences in the game ... with no checkpoints. Godspeed!

Jupiter has more than 75 moons.
Sheppard's team has a knack for finding moons around the giant planets in our solar system. "In total, we have been part of 70 moon discoveries around Jupiter," he said via email. "For the other planets, it's 43 discoveries at Saturn, 2 at Uranus and 1 at Neptune."
Saturn has more than 140 moons moons. Some are tiny rocks nearly 1 km across. Others are massive. Saturn's moon Titan is bigger than the planet Mercury.
Astronomers discovered 12 additional moons of Jupiter, raising its total number of known natural satellites to 92. The gas giant now holds the record for the most known moons of any planet in the solar system—for the time being, at least.
