There are no moons on Mercury or Venus.
There is 1 moon for Earth, the moon you see at night.
2 Moons for Mars: Deimos and Phobos.
60 Moons on Jupiter: (too name a few) : Callisto, Himalia, Praxidike, Adrastea, Amalthea, Ananke, Carme, Elara, Europa, Ganymede, Io, and Metis, there are more but too much time to list them all.
31 Moons on Saturn: (too name a few): Atlas, Calypso, Dione,
Enceladus, Helene, Janus, Pandora, and Phoebe, there are more but too much time to list them all.
Uranus has 27 Moons, Ariel, Belinda, Bianca, Cordelia, Juliet, Miranda, Prospero and Puc. Not gonna list them all too much time.
Neptune has 13 Moons (unlucky), Naiad, Nereid, Proteus, Galatea, Larissa, and Despina, Not naming them all.
Seeing how Pluto is no longer a Planet the Moons don't really count.
60+31+27+13+2+1= 134.
The answer is 134 Moons

Scientist do not know yet. Not how many suns or planets or moons. We havent gotten that far yet grasshopper. There are around the number of 100 to 200 billion stars, planets and moons in our galaxy.
To first find how many moons there are the question of how many planets must be answered for the simple fact that a moon is defined as a mass orbiting a planet.

Well, Earth has at least one of meaningful size. Mars has 2, Jupiter, at least 63 (there may be more not yet discovered), Saturn 7 majors, and perhaps billions depending on the cut-off of what is a moon and what is a mere chunk of rock in what makes the rings, and so on.
Since there are billion of stars in our galaxy, and a lot of those can have planets, and a lot of those planets can have one or several moons, the number can only be called "astronomical".

In our Galaxy? The Milky Way Galaxy? Oh....... I dunno........ With a couple hundred million stars..... Many of which certainly have planets....... And a lot of those planets will have moons......... About a shitload and a half would be my best guess ☺
