A Satellite is any object that orbits another object that has a stronger gravitational pull. For example, the Moon is the Earth's natural satellite. Mars has several, as do Saturn and Jupiter. All of the planets, including Earth, are satellite bodies of the Sun (Sol), since they all orbit the Sun, which has a much stronger gravitational pull.
