Saturn is the planet with at least 30 moons, currently known to have 82 moons in total as of 2021. These moons vary in size and composition, with some as well-known as Titan and Enceladus, and others relatively smaller and less explored.
Jupiter has a total of 79 moons that have been confirmed as of now.
Jupiter's moons have a mix of rocky and icy compositions. They are not composed of gas like Jupiter itself. Some moons, like Io and Europa, have rocky interiors covered by icy surfaces, while others, like Callisto and Ganymede, have a mix of rock and ice.
Jupiter is the fifth planet from the sun also, you can fit 1,400 Earths in Jupiter. It's that big that the mass gives it nearly 2.5 times the gravity of Earth. Did you know that out of all the planets Jupiter has the most moons ,some of those moons has water ice and others ones has volcanic activity.
Jupiter has a total of 79 moons. Some of the largest and most well-known moons of Jupiter are Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto.
The planet Jupiter has 4 large moons that were likely formed within a disk of debris near the planet. Others are thought to be wandering asteroids that were captured by the giant planet's gravity. As of 2011, there are a total of 67 known moons, some orbiting in the same direction as Jupiter spins (prograde) and some the opposite way (retrograde). Most of them are relatively small, with 3/4ths of them less than 5 km in diameter. Some are involved with the faint rings that surround Jupiter, which may be the broken pieces of other small moons.
i learn that jupiter has 63 moons and it swallowed some of its moons
It shines directly on both Jupiter and its moons. There is no reason it shouldn't, as, other than periodic eclipses from Jupiter, nothing blocks the sunlight from reaching those moons. The moons do get some reflected light from Jupiter as well, just as Earth gets some light from our moon.

As of now, there are 66 known moons. The four main ones are Io, Ganymede, Callisto, and Europa. Those moons of Jupiter are the largest moons of Jupiter. There are some other moons of Jupiter, the smaller ones. Some of them are Thebe, Amalthea, Thelxinoe, Isonoe, Autonoe, and Carpo. I was only telling you how many moons are there, some of their names, and sorry I didn`t include the rocks in the ring of Jupiter.

4 moons
They are different sizes and distances from us, and so they reflect different amounts of light.
jupiters moons are different some have an atmosphere and MOST are asteroids
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.
