Exciting Discoveries about Moons!

Earth has a moon that has a lot of responsibilities to keep up the flow of life. However, Earth is not only a planet having moons. There are a lot of moons on various planets. Today we are publishing moon data here on The Notes. Let's go deeper.

Mercury

Mercury has no moon. The reason behind this is that Mercury is so close to the Sun and its gravity, it wouldn’t be able to hold on to its moon. Any moon would most likely crash into Mercury or maybe go into orbit around the Sun and eventually get pulled into it.

Venus

Venus has no moons. And it's still a mystery why so?
