A '''moon''' is a celestial body that orbits a planet or smaller body, which is called the ''primary''. 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. 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. | |||
