Saturn has the most moons in our Solar System (Credit: NASA / JPL / Space Science Institute/ Public Domain/ Wikimedia.org/

With 146 moons, Saturn had already surpassed its closest competitor, Jupiter, which has just 95. The discovery of 128 more has pushed Saturn's total to 274, further cementing its title as the "moon king." That is nearly twice the combined total of all other planets.

                Why do other planets have rings but others don't

                  The rings are made of debris that get sucked into its atmosphere.

                    The inner, rocky planets lack rings because they are too small and their gravity isn't strong enough to hold onto such debris

                    That is a lot of moon but I wonder why we don't have a lot of moons.

                      mainly due to the planets' size, mass, and location in the solar system. Larger planets, like Jupiter and Saturn, have greater gravitational pull, allowing them to capture more debris and form more moons

                      James says: "I did not know that Saturn was already famous for its moons." Grandma says: "I think it is interesting that some of the moons orbit in the opposite direction of Saturn."
