    Explanation:
    1. Venus and Mercury have no moon or satellite of its own.
    2. It rotates from east to west while the Earth rotates from west to east. Which means Venus spins backwards compared to most of the other planets. It spins or rotates in the opposite direction that Earth rotates. This means that on Venus the Sun rises in the west and sets in the east.
    3. The atmosphere of Venus contains traces of phosphine gas.

    Hence only statements 2&3 are correct.
