do you think there are more than 91 moons in the solar system?

Answer 1

The term "moon" has never been adequately defined. You could count every grain of dust around Saturn as a moon if you wanted to, and say there were quadrillions of them. Until someone decides how big a rock has to be to qualify as a moon there will never be a firm count.

Answer 2

We know that the Earth and Pluto have one each, Mars has 2, Jupiter 28, Saturn 30, Uranus 16 and Neptune has 8 for a total of 86. But we are finding more moons around the planets all the time. And if you define a moon as a smaller object orbiting a larger object, then you have to add all the asteroids in the Asteroid Belt that have smaller moons and the objects they have found in the Kuiper Belt, out beyond Pluto, which have moons. So there could easily be 91 or more moons in our solar system.

Answer 3

Jupiter has 63 moons by itself (so far), and Saturn 56.

So, yes, 91 is a little short just on that basis.

Answer 4

Actually, you seem to have substantially undercounted:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moons

There are supposedly 162 "moons" that actually orbit a bonafide planet, plus a bunch of "moons" that are simply resident in the solar system.

Answer 5

yes..91 is way low...we have to navigate our Solar System further..I would guess the numbers to be in the thousands at minimum

Answer 6

No, because earth has 1 moon mercury 3 venus 6 neptune none and uranus 2 and pluto none saturn 2 mars 1 and jupiter none.

Answer 7

no there are a lot more moons than that, they just have yet to be found, they are probably really small

Answer 8

I wouldn't be surprised if a few smaller ones were yet to be found.
