Answer 3

Jupiter has 63 moons not 45.

Answer 4

actually last time i checked the count was around 66 moons. I guess at this rate the astronomical community will be redefining what constitutes as a moon. But the gas giant planets in our solar system have enough gravity to sustain the orbits of many many moons.

Answer 5

Jupiter is sometimes referred to as the vacuum cleaner of the solar system due to it's immense gravitational pull.

It's only natural that some of the asteroids and comets it captures remain in orbit.

And you think that's a lot of moons? Saturn's got 56.

Answer 6

There are also at least 63 moons, including the four large moons called the Galilean moons that were first discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610. Ganymede, the largest of these moons, has a diameter greater than that of the planet Mercury.

Answer 7

That's believable. If it were any hotter, Jupiter would be another Sun! Most of the moons Jupiter has are really asteroids, comets and other space debris that might have made it to Earth if she weren't there.

Answer 8

Jupiter has 63 confirmed moons.

want knows exactly the name moons of jupiter... check out this website...

Answer 9

45? damn i didnt know that. well thats understandable actually since you can fit earth into jupiter 318 times jupiter should have 318 moons its only right

Answer 10

a planet doesn't have to be big to have a lot of moons. a moon is just a natural satellite basically anything that gets stuck in a planets gravitational pull.
