Final answer:

Mercury and Venus do not have moons due to their proximity to the sun and the gravitational disruption from the sun's pull.


Explanation:

Mercury and Venus do not have moons because they are too close to the sun. The gravitational pull of the sun disrupts the formation of moons around these two inner planets. In contrast, the outer planets, such as Jupiter and Saturn, have multiple moons due to their distance from the sun and their ability to capture passing debris.
