      The earth has a single moon but in our wider solar system, we have 181 known natural moons orbiting planets and dwarf planets. We don’t know how many moons there are in the universe though as we haven’t explored it all yet (we have only explored a really really tiny amount as our technology isn’t good enough yet) 🌑
