Why Don’t Venus and Mercury Have Moons?

Quick fact about our neighborhood: the Solar System has 8 planets — and none of them are truly “alone”… except two.Jupiter has 92 moons. Saturn has 274 moons. Uranus has 29 moons. Neptune has 16 moons.Even Mars has moons. Earth has one. Now here’s the twist: the two planets closest to the Sun — Mercury and Venus — have none. No natural satellites. No companions. Just bare worlds orbiting in the Sun’s strongest gravitational zone. So why do almost all planets end up with moons… while Mercury and Venus don’t? And what does that tell us about how moons form, how orbits stay stable, and how violent the early Solar System really was? In this video, we’ll break it down in a way that’s simple, but scientifically honest. -- DISCUSSIONS & SOCIAL MEDIA Commercial Purposes: insanecuriositybusiness@gmail.com Tik Tok:   / insanecuriosity   Reddit:   / insanecuriosity   Instagram:   / insanecuriositythereal   Twitter:   / insanecurio   Facebook:   / insanecuriosity   Linkedin:   / insane-curiosity-46b928277   Our Website: https://insanecuriosity.com/ -- Credits: Ron Miller, Mark A.
