Its spin would destroy one if it had
Scientists from California say the planet’s “tidal bulges”, caused by its slow spin, would have pulled any moon orbiting Venus towards the point of no return

Earth, has only got one moon.
Mars has two very small.
Saturn is somewhat similar, (not really; it’s got 293)
but poor old Venus has no moons at all.
