Earth has one large natural satellite in reality. This is only talking about the context of a habitable, planet that has the conditions as Earth, with similar axial tilt.
It would have a moon system similar to that of Uranus. Let's say it has 6 moons, similar in size to Puck, Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, and Oberon. These 6 moons would orbit in safe, stable orbits around the Earth-like planet. What would their apparent size, and realistic distance be from the Earth-like planet? What would be stable orbital distances, appearances, and likely effects on their parent planet's tides be? Would it be possible for such a moon system around an Earth mass planet to form under these conditions?
