Question: how many moons does jupiter have

Adam Parkes Bowen answered on 3 Mar 2020:

53 named moons and another 26 awaiting official names, at least according to NASA. However, as the definition of what exactly a “moon” is is pretty vague (“a natural body whch orbits a planet/minor planet”), the number could be considered to be far higher depending on how small of an object you are willing to consider as being a moon. For example; Jupiter has a much less impressive version of Saturn’s rings that orbit it, would each bit of rock and dust in that be considered a moon? They aren’t, but they could be given how vague the definition is.
