ralu Because the game is old I've made a mistake... I answered to the question "How many planets does our Solar system have?" 8 instead of 9 ... (On August 24, 2006, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) defined what it means to be a "planet" within the Solar System. This definition excluded Pluto as a planet and added it as a member of the new category "dwarf planet".)

TotalAnarchy Charon has about half the size of Pluto. That's why some considered it to be a twin planet. Now it's a twin dwarf planet The other two moons are Nix and Hydra.


Astronomy is really interesting when talking about the planets' characteristics.

arete Well, there is evidence some moons exploded because they were too close, essentially pulled apart by the force of Jupiter's gravity, called the Roche limit. Also, there are co-orbitals, moons that share an orbit. They might be debris from earlier collisions.

Pluto has three moons, apparently. Big one, Charon, and two little ones. The more you know...

Wicky Congrats, if this game would have been in our mother language it would be even more points!

Yep, jupiter has lots of moons, 63 discovered to date. I wonder how they don't ever collide with each other.

Did a few stupid mistakes.
BTW, some 'correct' aswers are false by today's standards (like Pluto isn't a planet anymore and Jupiter has a lot more than 15 moons).
