The planet having fourteen moons is ________
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
D
Neptune has 14 moons, all named after various sea gods and nymphs in Greek mythology. Almost half of Neptune's moon discoveries occurred decades after NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft swung past the planet and its system, demonstrating how far telescope technology has progressed.
All of Neptune's moons derive their respective names from Greek mythology. They are: Naiad, Thalassa, Despina, Galatea, Larissa, Hippocamp, Proteus, Triton, Nereid, Halimede, Sao, Laomedeia, Psamathe and Neso. This arrangement has been done keeping in mind their closeness to their planet.
