InnerworldAstronomers found clusters of new moons around Jupiter and Saturn, taking their total moon counts to 101 and 285, respectively
Wait. Whoa. I knew some planets had more then one moon, but I thought it was like 2 or 3.
You’re telling me Jupiter has 101 moons, and Saturn has 285 moons??? What the hell Earth??? You got ONE moon!!! Up your game!!! Saturn has 285 moons, and like 7 rings. That’s more than Jordan has!
Less is more, more or less
Earth’s moon is the biggest, iirc.
Biggest relative to the planet it orbits. Total mass goes Ganymede -> Titan -> Callisto -> Io -> Earth’s moon
sbirdLuna, our moon, is the 5th largest moon in the Solar System. Still quite impressive given the size of Earth compared to the Jovian planets. The largest four are Ganymede, Titan, Callisto, and Io. Both Ganymede and Titan are larger than the planet Mercury, which is quite interesting indeed, and Titan also has a dense atmosphere, the only moon with one of those! Callisto is a bit smaller and Mercury but still mightly large, and it has plenty of cool craters on its surface, Wikipedia says they are the oldest in the Solar System. Io is potato-coloured and is very volcanic, and everyone knows volcanoes are cool. Wikipedia says it’s also the densest satellite in the Solar System with the strongest surface gravity!
DiplomjodlerI think it’s dumb to call every captured rock a moon.
