Can you live on any of the 8 planets or their moons?

We can only know for certainty that we can live here on earth. As far as the other planets and moons, we cannot with our current technology. Perhaps sometime in the future we can either alter their climates (called planetary engineering) or design habitation modules that simulate the conditions on earth so that we can.


Why Venus have no satellite?

Since Earth's Moon was likely formed from a chance collision, the formation of moons may not have been a stable process in the inner solar system. Any moons that formed around Venus or Mercury could have been swept away by the stronger gravity of the Sun, as might smaller moons around Earth. If Mercury or Venus ever had satellites, they were lost long ago.
