According to Wikipedia, "Venus is currently moonless, though the asteroid 2002 VE68 presently maintains a quasi-orbital relationship with it."
The moon orbits the Earth. Venus and Mercury are the planets that are closer to the Sun than the Earth is.
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.
Earth is not called a satellite; rather, it is a planet that orbits the Sun. A satellite is typically defined as a celestial body that orbits a larger body, such as a planet or moon. In this context, the Moon is Earth's natural satellite, as it orbits our planet. Conversely, Earth, along with other planets, is a satellite of the Sun.
A satellite.
currently none but one may be pulled into orbit in the future
venus have 12 orbits... :)
It depends on where Venus and Earth are in their orbits. Currently (December 2008) Venus is the brightest thing in the evening sky and should be easily visible.
Venus orbits the sun.
The moon orbits the Earth. Venus and Mercury are the planets that are closer to the Sun than the Earth is.
The moon IS a satellite that orbits earth
A satellite is an object which orbits a larger body. For example, the Moon orbits the Earth, and the Earth orbits the Sun. The Moon is a satellite of the Earth and the Earth is a Satellite of the Sun.
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.
No satellite found Venus. Venus can be seen from Earth with the naked eye.
A satellite.
It orbits a larger body, the definition of a satellite.
