The large gas giants of [[Sol]] have extensive systems of moons, including half a dozen comparable in size to [[Earth]]'s moon: the four Galilean moons, Saturn's Titan, and Neptune's Triton. Saturn has an additional six mid-sized moons massive enough to have achieved hydrostatic equilibrium, and Uranus has five. Jupiter has more than sixty moons, of which only four are colonized. Those moons are called [[Jovian Moons]]. Of the inner planets, Mercury and Venus have no moons at all; Earth has one large moon, [[Luna]], and [[Mars]] has two tiny moons, Phobos and Deimos. | The large gas giants of [[Sol]] have extensive systems of moons, including half a dozen comparable in size to [[Earth]]'s moon: the four Galilean moons, Saturn's Titan, and Neptune's Triton.
