Which terrestrial planet has the most moons?

Mercury and Venus, the two innermost planets in our solar system, do not have any moons. Earth has one moon, while Mars has two small moons: Phobos and Deimos. However, when we look at the terrestrial planets, the answer is that none of them have a significant number of moons compared to the gas giants. In fact, Mars, with its two tiny moons, holds the title of the terrestrial planet with the most moons.

It’s interesting to note that the moons of Mars are thought to be captured asteroids, which gives them an irregular shape and small size. In contrast, the gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn have many moons, with Jupiter boasting over 70, making them far more moon-rich than the terrestrial planets.
