None of the moons in our solar system are known to have a natural satellite of their own. Although theoretically possible, the gravitational pull off a moon sized body is a little to small to sustain another smaller body in its gravitational field. The moon 'Rhea' of Saturn is thought to have a tenuous ring system though, with some dust and small particles in orbit around it.

Do any moons have moons of their own?
No moons in our solar system have moons of their own, but it's theoretically possible.
How many mons dose Venus' have?
There are no "mons" associated with Venus. However, Venus is a planet in our solar system and does not have any moons of its own.
Why are Jupiter and its moons are sometimes thought of as forming their own solar system?
Jupiter and its moons are sometimes thought of as forming their own solar system because of the size difference between Jupiter and its moons, as well as the gravitational influence Jupiter has on its moons. Jupiter is similar to a miniature star with its large size and strong gravitational pull, while its moons orbit around it in a similar way that planets orbit the Sun in the solar system.
What is a group of planets and their moons that orbit a central star?
A group of planets moving around a star is called a solar system. Planets outside our solar system are called exoplanets. Despite the difficulty of detection, many hundreds have been discovered recently, orbiting other stars.
What other planets have there own planets?
As of now, the only planet known to have its own moon is Earth. Other planets in our solar system have moons but no planets of their own. In our solar system, moons primarily orbit around planets rather than planets orbiting around other planets.

How many moons does Ganymede have?
Ganymede, a moon of Jupiter, has a total of 79 known moons as of the latest count.
Do moons appear on all planets?
In our solar system,every planet except mercury and venus have their own moons.

Are any moons as large as planets?
Yes. Ganymede and Titan, which are moons of Jupiter and Saturn, are larger than the planet Mercury. Several other moons in the solar system, including our own moon, are larger than Pluto, which was formerly considered a planet. These moons would likely be considered planets if they had their own orbits around the sun.
Is a planet with many moons an inner or outer planet?
In our own solar system, the only planets with many moons are outer planets. It seems likely that if there were a large planet close to a companion star, the star's gravity would strip away any orbiting moons. However, we have no way of detecting the moons of any extrasoloar planets.
What other planets have there own planets?
As of now, the only planet known to have its own moon is Earth. Other planets in our solar system have moons but no planets of their own. In our solar system, moons primarily orbit around planets rather than planets orbiting around other planets.
Why is Jupiter in the center of its univeres?
Jupiter is not in the center of the universe, but rather at the center of its own orbit within our solar system. Its position is determined by the gravitational forces acting on it by the sun, which is at the center of our solar system.
Do any planets apart from earth have their own moon?
Yes, several planets in our solar system have moons. For example, Jupiter has over 80 moons, including four large ones known as the Galilean moons (Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto). Saturn also has numerous moons, with its largest moon being Titan. Other planets like Mars, Uranus, and Neptune also have moons orbiting them.
Do most planets have moons that orbit around them?
Yes, most planets do have moons that orbit around them. In our own solar system, six out of eight planets have moons, and the dwarf planet Pluto also has moons. Only the two innermost planets, Mercury and Venus, do not have moons.
Does each planet have its own moon?
No, not every planet has its own moon. While some planets have multiple moons and others have no moons at all, it is common for planets in our solar system to have at least one moon.
