I just want to point out that they keep finding more and more (usually quite tiny) moons around planets such as Jupiter and Uranus. Even 2 of Pluto's moons were very recently discovered (just last year or the year before, I forget). So to be more correct, you should say, for example, that Jupiter has *at least* 63 moons.
Mercury, however, has no known moons, and they probably will never find any.

Mercury has none.
Jupiter has 63 known satellites (as of Feb 2004)
Uranus has 21 named moons and six unnamed ones
Pluto has 3, including the two little ones just recently discovered.

By satellites you mean moons...right!!!
Mercury doesnt have any moon, Jupitor has 18 named and many more smaller ones, Uranus has 15 moons, Pluto has 1 large and 2 small moons.
Thanks.

Pluto is not a planet, careful. It could be a trick question

I'd suggest you look it up because Bruce G has the wrong answer for two of the planets and Sanja... is also wrong on at least one planet..
