Correct option is D
Venus does not have any natural satellites (moons). Among the eight planets in the solar system, Venus and Mercury are the only ones without satellites. This may be due to their proximity to the Sun, which affects their ability to capture or retain moons.
Key points:
● Venus is the second planet from the Sun and has a thick, carbon dioxide-rich atmosphere.
● Its lack of satellites contrasts with other planets like Earth (1 moon), Mars (2 moons), and Jupiter (79 moons).
● Venus is known for its retrograde rotation, where it rotates opposite to most other planets.
● It is the hottest planet in the solar system due to its greenhouse effect.
● Venus is often called "Earth’s twin" because of its similar size and composition.
● The absence of satellites remains an area of interest for astronomers.
Additional Information:
- Earth has one moon.
- Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos.
