Mercury and Venus Are the Only Planets Without Moons

Most planets in our solar system have company. NASA states that of the eight planets, Mercury and Venus are the only ones with no moons. There is a small asterisk. Venus does have a quasi-satellite, which has officially been named Zoozve. It is not counted as a moon. Elsewhere, moons are plentiful. NASA says the solar system has hundreds of moons orbiting planets, dwarf planets and asteroids, and that the giant planets Jupiter and Saturn lead the counts, with swarms of moons that resemble miniature solar systems. Earth sits at the modest end, as the only planet in the solar system with exactly one moon. Even little Pluto, which is smaller than our Moon, has five moons of its own, one of them large enough to make Pluto wobble.
