Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Earth has 2 moons.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The simple answer is that Earth has only one moon, which we call “the moon”. It is the largest and brightest object in the night sky, and the only solar system body besides Earth that humans have visited in our space exploration efforts.

Detailed explanation-2: -The three moons shown here–Titan (3, 200 miles or 5, 150 kilometers across), Mimas (246 miles or 396 kilometers across), and Rhea (949 miles or 1, 527 kilometers across)–show marked contrasts. Titan, the largest moon in this image, appears fuzzy because we only see its cloud layers.

Detailed explanation-3: -There’s no reason why an Earthlike world can’t have multiple moons, but they’d almost certainly be much smaller than the real moon. You could have an earthlike moon orbiting a gas giant with a ring system.

Detailed explanation-4: -The existence of the two extra ‘moons’ was hotly debated for over 50 years but as per a recent National Geographic report, Hungarian astronomers and physicists have finally provided enough data to confirm that our moon has at least two other companions–made entirely of dust.
