Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mercury and Venus are the only planets in our solar system without moons (i.e. they do not have any natural satellite).

Detailed explanation-2: -Mercury and Venus are the only planets in our solar system which do not have any natural satellite.

Detailed explanation-3: -Along with Venus, Earth, and Mars, Mercury is one of the rocky planets. It has a solid surface that is covered with craters like our Moon. It has a thin atmosphere, and it doesn’t have any moons. Mercury likes to keep things simple.

Detailed explanation-4: -Unfortunately, Venus doesn’t have rings. It also doesn’t have any moons; although, Venus might have had a moon in the past, but it probably crashed back into the planet billions of years ago.

Detailed explanation-5: -Both planets are too close to the Sun. Which means any moon at too great a distance from the planets would be in an unstable orbit and would be captured by the Sun. If they were too close to Mercury or Venus they would be destroyed by tidal gravitational forces.
