Question

moons, or natural satellites, orbit objects other than stars within planetary systems. their orbits tend to be nearly circular or oval - shaped. in the solar system, moons can orbit planets, dwarf planets, or large asteroids. some planets have no moons, while others have over 90!
moons can have a diameter between 1 and 5,300 kilometers, but most are less than 1,500 kilometers in diameter. smaller moons are often irregular in shape, while larger moons are roughly spherical.
moons are usually made of rock and metal, but many also contain ice. they can have craters and volcanoes on their surface, and some may have liquid water beneath their surface. some of the largest moons even have atmospheres!
select the true statements about moons in the solar system.

• moons never have atmospheres or liquid water.
• moons can orbit planets, dwarf planets, or asteroids.
• the largest moons are usually irregular in shape.
• a planet cannot have more than one moon.

Explanation:

1. For "Moons never have atmospheres or liquid water": The text says "some may have liquid water beneath their surface. Some of the largest moons even have atmospheres", so this is false.
2. For "Moons can orbit planets, dwarf planets, or asteroids": The text states "In the solar system, moons can orbit planets, dwarf planets, or large asteroids", so this is true.
3. For "The largest moons are usually irregular in shape": The text says "Smaller moons are often irregular in shape, while larger moons are roughly spherical", so this is false.
4. For "A planet cannot have more than one moon": The text says "Some planets have no moons, while others have over 90", so this is false.

So the only true statement is "Moons can orbit planets, dwarf planets, or asteroids."

Answer:

Moons can orbit planets, dwarf planets, or asteroids.
