Solution
Closest planet to the sun
The Sun and the things that circle it, either directly or indirectly, are linked by gravity in the Solar System. It consists of the eight planets as well as smaller objects, dwarf planets, and directly orbiting minor solar system entities.
The smallest and innermost planet in the Solar System is Mercury. Its atmosphere is quite erratic.
An object that orbits a planet or another object that is not a star is called a moon.
Mercury does not have any moons.
Hence Mercury is the planet nearest to the sun and it does not have any moons.
