Matching Famous Moons

This worksheet invites students to match well-known moons to their parent planets, strengthening understanding of planetary systems and satellite relationships. Learners study a list of moons such as Titan, Ganymede, and Enceladus, then identify whether they orbit Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, or Mars. Some planets appear multiple times, requiring attention to detail and recall of scientific knowledge. The task supports memorization, comparison, and reasoning about celestial bodies. It helps learners visualize the complexity and diversity of moons within our Solar System.
