Which among the following planets does not have any satellite?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is 2 i.e.Venus

  1. Venus, in contrast to several other planets in our solar system, has no natural satellites. Venus may not be able to acquire a moon because of the powerful gravitational pull of the Sun, which is one reason for this.
  2. Furthermore, Venus may be less likely to retain any prospective satellites because of its slow and retrograde rotation. Another theory is that whatever moons it may have formerly had were either collided with or caused to become unstable by the sun's gravitational pull.
  3. Consequently, Venus continues to be one of the two planets in our solar system without a moon, along with Mercury.
