What is the difference between a moon and a planet.

Sagot :

Answer:

A planet revolves around the Sun and a moon orbits a planet. Technically, the moon also orbits the Sun as it spins around its planet, but because it has its own sub-orbit of a planet scientists define it as a moon. All planets in our solar system, except for Mercury and Venus, have moons. Earth has one moon, Mars has two, Neptune has thirteen, Uranus has twenty-seven, Jupiter has sixty-six, and Saturn has sixty-two. Pluto, now classified as a dwarf planet, has five moons.
