hm? as far as i'm concerned, i know it has only one. but when i heard about your question... i having second thoughts. and now i think there's a hundred. it includes the pluto.
 
only one, referred to as "the moon"

there are numerous other objects in orbit, however, which are usually too small to be categorised as moons.
 
Let me think
.
New moon
.
Full moon
.
Half moon
,
Crescent moon
,
Harvest moon
.
I count 5

Only one.

You've probably heard some talk about Cruithne, an asteroid in orbit around the sun, but has a 1:1 resonance with the earth.

Here are some animations of it's orbit, that show how it is not a satellite of earth.

One moon, which we call THE Moon. It's made up mostly of cheese, and there is some guy who always watches us, a stalker called the Man in the Moon. Sometimes he has weird facial expressions, but he's always there---watching you.
 
what if there is another earth on the other side of the sun?...and we just cant see it?
