Earth - 1
Mars - 2
Pluto - 3
Eris - 1
Neptune - 13
Uranus - 27
Jupiter - at least 63
Saturn - at least 47
These are the ones we know of, of course. Fair to say there are unlikely to be any remaining large moons out there which we don't know of. Where a planet is not mentioned it has no known satellites.

They're still finding them, and new Planets which potentially have moons. Pluto's also going through de - classification as a planet so that's the end of Charon, Nix and Hydra (the 3 moons Pluto has that we know about).
Any number given could be wrong by the time you have finished reading it :o(

It is not every planet that has moons. Some like Mercury and Venus have no moons and others like Jupiter have up to 21 moons.

Each planet has a different number of moons. Some have none.

If you want to find out the majority of the names of the moon, I suggest you visit http://www.universeguide.com/Mars.php and then cycle through each planet page to find out the rest. Mercury and Venus have 0 and Earth has just the Moon.

no one knows for sure, i mean they discovered new planets in a distant region of our solar system, kind of a cluster of tiny minor planets, a subset of the broader family of transNeptunain objects.. but seriously no one knows.. it would be nice to huh.
