Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : 0

The correct answer is 0.

 

• Venus (and the planet Mercury) are the only two planets that don't have a single natural moon orbiting them.

 

• Venus is only a little smaller than the Earth.
• Venus is the second closest planet to the sun at a distance of about 108 million km (67 million miles) or 0.72 AU.
• One day on Venus lasts as long as 243 Earth days (the time it takes for Venus to rotate or spin once).

 

• Moons are also known as natural satellites that orbit planets and asteroids in our solar system.
