Jupiter, the fifth planet from the sun, has the most moons in our solar system with a whopping 79 moons as of 2021. Many of Jupiter's moons are small and have irregular shapes, while the four largest moons, known as the Galilean moons, are named Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto.

These four moons were discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610 and are some of the most studied objects in the solar system. They are also some of the largest moons in the solar system, with Ganymede being the largest moon in the solar system.

Jupiter's large collection of moons is believed to be due to its strong gravitational pull and its position in the solar system. Scientists believe that Jupiter may have even more undiscovered moons, with estimates ranging from a few dozen to several hundred more moons yet to be found.
