Do other planets have Moons?

Apart from the earth, most of the other planets have Moons although these are usually quite small. Saturn has the most Moons, it has at least 18 Moons. Some of these are very strange. Enceladus has a smooth surface covered with shiny beads of ice that make it shine and glitter. Lapetus is black on one side and white on the other. Jupiter has 16 moons, four of which are very large. One of Jupiter's moons is larger than Mercury and the other 3 are larger than our moon.. Charon, which orbits Pluto, is either a large moon or a small companion planet.
