How Many Moons Does The Sun Have

The sun
doesn't have any moons. A moon is a natural satellite that orbits around a planet. Since the sun
is classified as a star and not as a planet, it has no moons. There are 9 planets that orbit
around the sun--Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. A few
years ago, astronomers decided that Pluto is too small to be considered a planet, even though it
does have moons. Now it is called a dwarf planet. Since 2005, two more dwarf planets, Eris and
Ceres, have been discovered in our solar system.
