Can Moons Have Their Own Moons?

- Moons are amazing natural satellites that orbit planets and other objects in space. While most moons orbit planets, some moons also orbit asteroids and Kuiper belt objects. But are there “moons of moons”? Is it possible to have such a system in which moons have moons orbiting them? The answer to this question is more complicated than it looks. But don’t worry we have got that covered for you in this video. Let’s try to look at this question from the lens of science and theory.
Moons are thought to be formed when a planet or object is hit by a large object, such as a comet. The impact creates a debris field that eventually coalesces into a moon. Most moons are less than one-tenth the size of the body they orbit. In our solar system only two planets Mercury and Venus do not have moons. Why? Don’t worry we will answer that question for you later in this video and it will help us get an insight to the original question we asked about “moons of moons”. The gas giants are big and stable and have dozens of moons orbiting them. Can the moons of all these planets have moons?

Remembering a silly song from many years ago.... "On the Moon's moon's moon, it's always June, the only month of the year!"
Here is a crazy thought, how about binary moons? - So, 2 moons of similar size orbiting each other, in the sense acting as a single unified gravity well, in orbit around a much larger planet. Obviously at the "just-right" distance, whatever that might be.
- That has to be a rather unique phenomenon to observe, especially from the surface of that planet... and then if that planet also happens to be orbiting a set of binary stars = mind blown!
The answer is yes… and no. Keep watching while we try to turn 2 minutes of actual information into an 11 minute video
Not even a mention of hillspheres...
They explained it very well but it’s too much of information to remember.
Welcome to RUclips! But seriously, this one was particularly bad. First 2 minutes explain the same thing over and over again alone.
If I remember right you can't monetize a video unless it's over ten minutes or something like that. Idk the details but I'm sure it's for the monetization.

As far as we know, our moon DOES have a "moon" in the form of the upper stage of the Apollo-11 LEM. It is believed to be still in lunar orbit today.
Was just gonna say. The command modules of the Apollo missions were, for a short time, artificial moons around the Moon. And the Moon has a few small rocks in orbit around it, technically also moons, or better said, satellites.
Tbh , a moon is basically a planet
that orbits a planet
I always saw the moon as a ghostly past of or future earth 🌎 ✨ 🤔
Earth's moon is so large in relation to Earth that if we were observing it from somewhere else, it would be considered a dual planet system.
@@hooper365 it might be how the earth will look after the red giant phase if it even survives,i mean it definitely wouldn't be farfetched for the earth to look similar to the moon a long time from now
An earth-like planet (or moon?) orbiting another planet would also be a cool topic 🌍🪐
give Titan (the second largest moon in the solar system) a look. It's larger than Mercury, has an atmosphere that's 4x as thick as our own, and even has weather cycles. However, due to the distance from the sun it's so cold that instead of air and liquid water it has an atmosphere of Nitrogen with rivers and lakes of liquid methane.
As in the film Avatar.
Cool Worlds?
@@NovaCoronaSolarisBlast A mission was sent there already though
Saw this type of video from Cool Worlds. :)
6:30 Narrator says "tremendous but non-negligible atmosphere", what is a contradiction; but subtitles correctly mention "tenuous but non-negligible atmosphere", what makes total sense.
Yep. This is why you proof read before posting. Also at 9:19 he says “none of these are currently classified as moons of Jupiter”, and I have no idea what he’s on about. I’m guessing he meant “all of these”.
Our Moon *is* a stable sub-satellite. So are Europa, Titan, and Oberon. All of those bodies orbit planets, which in turn orbit the Sun.
Now a moon orbiting a moon orbiting a planet is theoretically possible, but they would not last long for all the reasons listed in this video. In fact, I think they would likely end up escaping their parent moons and becoming moons of the planet in question in their own right.
I had an idea for a KSP addon--a Saturn-like planet called Frey, which had three moons. One of those is a Titan-like world called Umber, which has a tiny Phobos-like sub-satellite called Blix. Of course, I don't have KSP, so it never got done.
KSP?

I just love (❤) these topics! ✔
P.S Long live the Queen! My Dad was one of Australia's 70% of the population who went out to get a glimpse of her in her first Aussie visit of 1954. Photo and all!
Thanks Lorenzo. All credit where credit is due. You excel. 🍬
Could you please video of orbital path of planets and moon why they don't collide with each other.
Great video !
Interesting topic!
0:00 Does anyone know the name of the track that is playing?
If you think about it our solar system is the sun orbited by moons that actually has moons , we live on a moon of the sun that has a moon
Interesting video
You can say the word MOON so many times that word starts to sound funny
I wished that The solar system had over 967 Terrestrial Planets
*i finally found a video like this*
Okay, but the real question still remains.
Can there be moons of moons of moons? 🤔
👏🏽
Yes
Can you moon...a moon? Or moon on a moon?
It's a moon playing a moon, being a different moon.
its possible just nearly impossible a moon with a moon is possible and i made a moon with a moon with a moon in a simulation
@@maryann2628 well in simulation, many things are potentially possible, in perfect constructed environments.
there are some red dwarf suns out there that are not much bigger than jupiter and they hold planets, now we don't know if they have moons yet, but if they do it wll be highly possible that out there, there will be a planet maybe 1.2-1.4 times the size of jupiter that is the distance of pluto from it's sun and such a planet could hold an earth size moon then that moon to have a moon too
I think the Moon might be the reason that we exist. The Moon's gravity and constant tugging literally pulled molecules out of the Earth's crust, allowing them to form complex structures and eventually, life.
Ah, no. The moon did stabilize the planet at its now 25.5° tilt which allows for the seasons and without it the earth would wobble quite a bit to where life may not have been a le to evolve and the moon is the reason for the tides which also helped life to get a foot hold but the gravity I dou t would be enough to pull molecules from the earth's crust seeing as how if it did then it would still be doing it even today and that has never been a thing anyone has talked about and something like that would have been discovered decades ago so, sorry but I'm pretty sure that would be a no.
@@CONSOLETRUTH2
You are right. But without the moon and the size it is, life on earth would had never developed. If Venus had got lucky with a moon the same as ours in relation to their sizes, then even Venus could had stood a chance at life or atleast to be in a better condition for possible life then it is now.
@@CONSOLETRUTH2 You know so much, yet so little about punctuation.
@@javiervasquez29 Gonna disagree about Venus. Venus has a slightly different chemical makeup to earth's and a freak runaway greenhouse effect, together with the closer proximity to the Sun caused the planet to become a literal hell with a surface pressure of 90 Bar and temperatures up to 500 degrees C. The fact Venus's day is a whole year (116 days) long (the planet does not rotate) means that even if it did have an atmosphere suitable for life, the temperatures on the lit side would still become way too hot for life to develop and evolve, and the cold side would deep freeze everything. On Venus, the sun's heating power exceeds 2.5 kiloWatts per square meter.
Yea right. We formed from a Petrie dish.
If a moon could have moons of its own surely the most likely candidates would be the moons of small primaries that do not exert much gravity. So Charon could be an example since Pluto is small and its gravity is weak. But there's nothing there. Nor have sub-moons been detected orbiting the moons of other Kuiper Belt objects.
"Can moons have other moons orbiting them? The answer to this question is more complicated than it looks."
No, it isn't. Figuring out the answer may be complicated, but the answer to that question is either yes or no.
"Let's try to look at this question through the lens of science and theory."
Those are not different things. Theories are part of science, they are not guesses or assumptions. It's also not a lens as science is the only way to figure out how things work. You might as well be asking us to figure out the answer to a multiplication problem through the lens of mathematics and formulas.
"The answer is yes, and no."
No, it's not. If it's possible, then the answer is yes. There may be conditions placed on that yes, but yes is the answer, even if those conditions are so extreme that we'll likely never see one.
"What do you think about the concept of moons having moons?"
Not entirely sure what you're asking here. It'd be neat to find one. I certainly don't think of it as impossible, but I also don't see it as something important to find, either.
"Can they exist in our solar system?"
That depends on where you draw the line, but the truth is that we don't yet have enough information to say if they can or cannot. We do, however, have the information to say it's unlikely.
Is there a chance that we wouldn't have surface water if we didn't have a moon pulling it up out of the crust of the Earth
Just say yes and keep it pushing buddy
Layman’s term : yes but very unlikely.
If it’s a giant gas planet and it’s moon is the size of Mars or a earth I can see that moon having a moon.
In outer space NOTHING surprises me any more expect anything and everything
I have an unreasonable question
how is there a planet that has a moon but the moon is binary
large super jupiter exoplanets could have planet sized captured moons orbiting them it really far out orbits that could had moons already from when they were a planet and kept its moon system even when it became a moon itself
tidal decay would make it temporary unless its just in a way to last billions or trillons of years
Im no scientist, but if you have planet the size of our sun? And moon the size of the planet then the moon orbiting it, considered as moon of the moon????
Moonception
How do you spend 11 minutes answering an obvious question?
What about a moon with Earth's mass orbiting a gas giant?
Could it have its own moon about the size of Luna?
Saturn has one or two satellites with their own mini satellite.
I mooned a moonie! Does this count?
Jupiter has moons that are like planets because they're so huge. So that's possible but wouldn't the larger object drag the smallest away
Pluto is smaller than our moon and has moons.
@@radrook2153 becasue is farther from the sun than earth if the moon was the same distance as pluto then it would have more moons than pluto
Moon the moon...
Ahh, but, can there be a moon of a moon of a moon of a moon? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
1:34 natural satellites !?

Are you wondering what natural satellites are?

Hi, do any of orbits of Saturn and Jupiter reach the Port cloud?
“Can Moons have their own Moons?”
Yes there are called Moonlets - I’m glad we had this talk :-D
but they don't exist, at least we didn't prove it
@@ItsMeAttilaGameplay2018 We've discovered moonlets.
@@dcrggreensheep i know about moonlets they are real, but moonmoons are not (yet)
Can Moons moon ?
Thank you for not answering anything
I've never seen a more poorly explained video than this one. It's presented in a way that's so confusing and difficult to keep up with.
Try CoolWorlds' video on this topic, great stuff
✝️ Repent and believe in the gospel ✝️
*And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.*
Hebrews 9:27-28 NKJV
The gospel of Jesus Christ
✝️
*For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures,*
I Corinthians 15:3-4
Was not impressed
Allah is most Powerfull.
The Queen of England is Dead!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's not even related to the video, I mean sure, she was a great queen and all, but we're watching a space video, not a video about the queen, and comments should be about space.
No the planet will pull on the moon and de orbit it
