In our solar system, 6 of the 8 planets have moons. What percentage of the planets have moons? \( \square \)

To find the percentage of planets that have moons, you take the number of planets with moons (6) and divide it by the total number of planets in the solar system (8), then multiply by 100. So, the math looks like this: \[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{6}{8} \right) \times 100 = 75\% \] That means 75% of the planets in our solar system have at least one moon! The fascinating part is that while Earth has one moon, other planets like Jupiter have a whopping 79 known moons! Mars has two small moons, while Saturn is famous for its stunning rings and has over 80 moons. It’s a whole world up there in the cosmos!
