There are two planets in our solar system that do not have moons: Mercury and Venus. They are the two planets closest to the sun and they are both terrestrial planets like Earth and Mars. Their proximity to the sun may be part of the answer; the sun's gravity may disrupt the orbits of would-be moons. This could especially be true of Mercury, which is the innermost and least massive of the planets. It is also possible that the planets simply never experienced events that would result in a moon with a stable orbit. Venus has the slowest rotation of all the planets and actually rotates "backwards." This slow retrograde rotation would tend to drag any orbiting moon in through tidal interactions, so it is possible than Venus once had a moon or moons that crashed int the planet long ago.
We do not know how many planets outside the solar system have moons.
What else can I help you with?
Do all the planets have moons traveling around them?
No, not all planets have moons. Mercury and Venus do not have any moons, while some planets like Jupiter and Saturn have a large number of moons. Earth has one moon.
Does each planet have its own moon?
No, some planets have several moons, whilst many have no moons at all.
Do all dwarf planets have moons?
No. Of the five objects currently recognized as dwarf planets, two do not have moons. Those objects are Ceres and Makemake.
Why the dwarf planets have moons?
planets have moons for day and night
Are the planets like moons to the sun?
The planets are satellites of the sun. The moons are satellites of the planets. The moons revolve around the planets captured by their gravity, while the planets revolve around the sun captured by its gravity and the sun.
What orbits some planets?
moons

No, not all planets have moons. Mercury and Venus do not have any moons, while some planets like Jupiter and Saturn have a large number of moons. Earth has one moon.
How many moons do the suns have?
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.
What are moons to planets?
Moons are satellites of planets.
Does each planet have its own moon?
No, some planets have several moons, whilst many have no moons at all.
Why do the planets go round the sun and not the moon?
Because the moons are the ones revolvimg around the planets (only some planets have moons, not all). And besides, moons aren't in the center of the solar system. They're even smaller than the planets.
Can dwarf planets have moons?
Yes, and they do. Not all of them have confirmed moons but some do. Pluto, for example, has four known moons.
Is it true that a planet has 12 moons?
No, the statement is not always true. While some planets, like Jupiter and Saturn, have numerous moons, not all planets in our solar system have 12 moons. Some planets, like Earth and Mars, have fewer moons, while others have none at all.
Do all dwarf planets have moons?
No. Of the five objects currently recognized as dwarf planets, two do not have moons. Those objects are Ceres and Makemake.

Does the terrestrial planets have more moons than the outer planets?
Oh no, it is the outer planets which have the most moons. Terrestrial planets such as Earth have relatively few moons.
