In our Solar System, 173 moons around planets are recognized, as well as over 200 moons around minor planets.
Planets, moons, asteroids.
Yes, most planets do have moons that orbit around them. In our own solar system, six out of eight planets have moons, and the dwarf planet Pluto also has moons. Only the two innermost planets, Mercury and Venus, do not have moons.
Out of the planets in our Solar System, Jupiter has the most moons. It has 63 confirmed moons.
A model of the solar system with the Sun at the center with all of the planets and moons moving around is called an Orrery.
Moons are approximately spherical objects which orbit planets and are smaller than the planets that they orbit, although they are still relatively large objects (so an orbiting dust particle does not qualify as a moon). Since moons orbit planets, their motion around the solar system is controlled by the planets that they orbit; planets orbit the sun, and planets take their moons with them.
Moons are larger, obviously.
In our Solar System all planets have moons, except for Mercury and Venus.
The answer is there are two planets which have no moons. Venus and Mercury
Mercury and Venus do not have moons
