Which planets in our solar system have no moons?

Which planets have no moons and why?

Venus and Mercury are the only planets in our solar system with no moons. That's primarily because they're too small and too close to the Sun to retain a moon, and Venus's motion is too unusual. The other planets and dwarf planets in our solar system have at least one moon, but Mars may lose one in 10-50 million years.
