When did Venus have a moon?

The discovery of Venus’ moon In 1761, one of the rare transits of Venus took place, where the inner planet is seen moving across the solar disk in a trip that takes around five hours.

Why do some planets not have moons?

Venus and Mercury are the only planets in our solar system with no moons. That’s primarily because they’re too small and too close to the Sun to retain a moon, and Venus’s motion is too unusual. The other planets and dwarf planets in our solar system have at least one moon, but Mars may lose one in 10-50 million years.
