månene

Månene is a term that translates from Swedish to English as "the moons." In astronomy, the term is used to refer to any natural satellite orbiting a planet or dwarf planet. Our own planet, Earth, has one natural satellite, which is commonly referred to as the Moon. Many other planets in our solar system also possess moons. Jupiter, for example, has a large number of known moons, including the four Galilean moons: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. Saturn is also renowned for its extensive moon system, with Titan being its largest and most notable satellite. Uranus and Neptune, the ice giants, also have their own sets of moons. Dwarf planets, such as Pluto, can also have moons. The study of these celestial bodies, the månene, provides valuable insights into the formation and evolution of planetary systems. Their surfaces, compositions, and atmospheric conditions, where applicable, offer clues about the history of their host planets and the wider solar system.
