Why Don’t Venus And Mercury Have Moons?

Let’s get straight to the point: the reason why Venus and Mercury don’t have moons is: they are too close to the Sun.

Of course, this might not be the only reason, but it’s perhaps the most plausible one, according to scientists.
In the solar system, you will find interesting moons: some examples are Jupiter with Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto, Saturn with Titan and Enceladus, Neptune and its Triton, Pluto, and Charon…but no moon has ever succeeded in becoming a moon of Mercury or Venus.

To understand why this is, let’s take a look at other planets first, and let’s see how their moons formed or got captured, ending up orbiting around the planets in our solar system.
