Revised Number of Moons (Correction in all textbooks)
 

Please correct the number of moons. Almost all EDS books are (hopefully all Pakistani books) presenting outdated material in this regard.
Mercury _______ [B]0[/B]
Venus _________[B]0[/B]
Earth__________[B]1[/B]
Mars__________[B]2[/B]
Jupiter_________[B]67[/B]
Saturn_________[B]62[/B]
Uranus_________[B]27[/B]
Neptune________[B]14[/B]
Pluto___________[B]5[/B]

Natural Satelites
 

Mercury = [B]0[/B]
Venus =[B] 0[/B]
Earth = [B]1[/B]
Mars = [B] 2[/B]
Jupiter = [B]63[/B]
Saturn =[B] 62[/B]
Uranus = [B]27[/B]
Neptune = [B]13[/B]

And about Pluto I read a couple of articles stating that it is reclassified as a planet but didn't have any authentic source yet so I am not sure about Pluto but anyways it have 5 moons.

Jupiter has 67 moons...Others awaiting just "Name allotment" or just evidence-based publication in some journal. Facts and figures are present. So, we will go for 67.

Pluto will be taken as moon...At least in perspective of CSS exam...Any Space Scholar may opine against it.
However, it had been given a status of dwarf planet along with Eris, Ceres.

I am still doubtful about Pluto being a Dwarf Planet or a planet. This happens two times before and once again it is classified as a Planet now. And from Competitive Exam perspective maybe they take Pluto as a Planet or Dwarf Planet and maybe they asks why the astronomers are so confused about Pluto that for two times they have classified it as a Dwarf Planet and once again they have reverted their decision?

Astronomers have now analyzed methane in Pluto’s air. And yeah Pluto has an atmosphere—again, pretty impressive for something that’s supposedly not a planet. And We’ll exactly find out in July 2015, when NASA’s first spacecraft to Pluto zips by.

And I am sure about this that Pluto is not a moon. :nono
