Answer:200 moons

Explanation :Up next is Earth, and of course we have one moon.

Earth and the moon are glad they're buds. I'm so glad we're buds.

Mars

Mars has two moons. Their names are Phobos and Deimos. Don’t you wish our moon had a cool name like that?

Jupiter

Next are the giant outer planets. They have lots of moons. Jupiter, for instance, has 79 known moons!

The most well-known of Jupiter's moons are Io (pronounced eye-oh), Europa, and Callisto. Jupiter also has the biggest moon in our solar system, Ganymede.

These moons are so big you can see them with just a pair of binoculars.

Saturn

Saturn has 53 moons that have been named. Saturn also has 29 moons awaiting confirmation. They’re unconfirmed because we’re waiting to get more information about them. If all of these moons get confirmed, Saturn will have 82 moons. And that’s not counting Saturn’s beautiful rings.

Saturn’s moons have great names like Mimas, Enceladus, and Tethys. One of these moons, named Titan, even has its own atmosphere, which is very unusual for a moon.

Uranus and Neptune

Uranus has 27 moons that we know of. Some of them are half made of ice.

Lastly, Neptune has 14 named moons. One of Neptune's moons, Triton, is as big as dwarf planet Pluto.

Neptune asks Uranus if they have enough moons. We've got a good number of moons, right?
