Because it has no moon
Yes, Ganymede is a moon or a natural satellite of the planet Jupiter. It is the largest moon in the solar system and is even larger than the planet Mercury.
Satellites are natural or artificial bodies that revolve around larger bodies like planets. Except for Mercury and Venus, all of the planets have natural satellites call MOONS.
Yes, in astronomy, a moon and a satellite refer to the same thing - a natural celestial body that orbits a planet. So when we say that Mercury and Venus do not have moons, it means they do not have natural satellites orbiting around them.
Mercury is always closer to the Sun than the moon.
Mercury is a planet in our solar system that does not have any natural satellites. It is the smallest planet and closest to the sun, making it unlikely to have retained any moons due to the sun's gravitational influence.
Mercury has no natural satellites. The only man-made satellite, which crash-landed onto the planet was Messenger.
Yes. The moon is the only known natural satellite of the earth. To compare with other planets: Mercury and Venus have noknown natural satellites, and Jupiter has at least 63. ( ! ) In comparison to the size of its planet, earth's moon is the largest satellite of any in the solar system.

Mercury and Venus. All other planets have at least one moon (or natural satellite).
No, not all planets have satellites. For example, Mercury and Venus do not have any natural satellites, while Jupiter and Saturn have numerous moons. Earth has one natural satellite, the Moon.

It is a natural satellite.
Ganymede, a moon of Jupiter, is the largest natural satellite in our solar system. But you could argue that Jupiter is the largest as it is a satellite of our sun. You could also argue that our own sun is a satellite of the galactic centre.
Mercury is always closer to the Sun than the moon.
