All most same size as pluto

The size and name of some of the moons are unknown. Some of them, we only have pictures taken far away by a NASA space ship. Some of them no one knows what they are made of. Pluto’s moon is almost the same size as Pluto and some people call it a double planet. It is made up of a moon of Neptune that was hit and then became a planet because it was knocked out of Neptune’s orbit over 1,000,000 years ago.

This is a trick question. Most astronomers would argue there is only one "Moon" and that belongs to Earth. But, there are other planets with "satellites", which is the more scientific term. And, many of these satellites have names.

There are quite a few satellites swirling around other planets in our solar system, many of them have names. Please see the source below for a full list as there are far too many to type here.

Yes they do. Jupiter has many moons, but I can't remember them.

Actually, technically, planets have "satellites". The earth's satellite is called "the moon". But almost always people call any satellite of any planet a "moon".

Yes they do. Mars has for example 2 moons - Phobos and Deimos...

yes, all the known moons in the solar system have been named. as there are, however, 155 of them you'll forgive me for not listing them. ;-) wikipedia has a comprehensive list here:

Almost all of them. And you can do your own homework to find them out.
