nomadd22 Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 How many moons a planet has isn't so much counting them as defining what a moon is. Are you going to count every speck of dust? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ophiolite Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 3kms in diameter is not quite a 'speck of dust'. We have been misled into what to expect from a satellite by our own moon. It isn't so much a moon as a sister planet. (Or perhaps more accurately a daughter, given its origin.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
