Earth has as many as 3,000 artificial satellites currently in orbit.

Saturn and Jupiter have 62 and 64 moons with confirmed orbits respectively.

There could be countless exoplanets (extrasolar planets; planets outside the solar system) that possess a greater number of natural satellites, but no extrasolar moons have yet been detected.

a natural satellite is not necessarily a piece of technology. If you consider the way a mechanical satellite orbits a planet, you would recognize that it uses the planets gravity to travel at a constant velocity. therefore any moon can be considered as a satellite, such as the Earth's moon or any of Saturn's.

The right answer is Jupiter with 63, however the technical answer could be Saturn as every one of the particles that make up Saturns Rings are technically concidered natural satellites.

Earth's largest natural satellite is the Moon. The Solar System's (and the largest known so far) is Ganymede also with the highest mass of any of them, moon of Jupiter. It's Larger than Mercury! This is followed in a close second by Titan with the thickest atmosphere and methane rainfall one of Saturn's moons, and Callisto Jupiter's moon is in third with possibly a liquid ocean beneath its surface. Io Jupiter's moon is fourth with its active volcanoes and stronger gravity than any of them. Earth's moon steals the fifth largest designation its gravity is just behind Io.

With 63 moons, Jupiter is the planet which has the highest number of moons. There could be more to be discovered though on any of the four gas giants that currently have not been seen.

Which planet has fewer satellites?

In our Solar System, Planet Mercury and Planet Venus have no (0) satellites at all. No satellites orbit them. But if you are talking about planets with satellites and with the fewest moons, it is the Earth. Earth has only one natural satellite, THE MOON.

Does a planet need to have at least one natural satellite to be considered a planet?

Of the eight planets in our solar system, the first two (Mercury and Venus) have no natural satellites. The dwarf planets Pluto and Eris have six moons between them. There is no relationship between the number of moons an object has and whether or not it is a planet. Planets may have no moons, while objects that are not planets may have multiple moons. In general, the larger the planet, the more moons it tends to have.
