Which planet in our solar system has the most moons?
A) Jupiter
B) Saturn
C) Neptune
D) Uranus
The correct answer is B) Saturn.
Saturn currently holds the record with 146 confirmed moons, while Jupiter has 95 confirmed moons. This is actually a relatively recent development – Saturn overtook Jupiter as new moons were discovered through improved telescopic observations and space missions.
Both gas giants have many small, irregular moons in addition to their larger, well-known ones (like Jupiter’s four Galilean moons and Saturn’s moon Titan). The count keeps growing as astronomers continue to discover tiny moonlets orbiting these planets!
