There are currently 891 confirmed moons in our solar system as of March 2025. Of these, 421 moons orbit planets (including dwarf planets like Pluto), while more than 470 moons orbit other dwarf planets, asteroids, and trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs)

. Here is a breakdown of moons orbiting the eight planets:

• Mercury: 0 moons
• Venus: 0 moons
• Earth: 1 moon
• Mars: 2 moons
• Jupiter: 95 moons
• Saturn: 274 moons (the highest number among planets)
• Uranus: 28 moons
• Neptune: 16 moons

In addition, dwarf planets such as Pluto have moons (Pluto has 5), and many small bodies like asteroids also have moons

. Thus, the total number of moons in the solar system—including those orbiting planets, dwarf planets, and smaller bodies—is nearly 900, making moons very common natural satellites throughout our solar system
