Satellites are stuff that revolve around a bigger body (this is specific)... celestial bodies are stuff that are out in space (this is general)

Force that attracts celestial bodies?

Gravity is the force that attracts celestial bodies such as planets, stars, and galaxies towards each other. It is responsible for keeping celestial bodies in orbit around larger objects like the sun and for shaping the structure of the universe.


What do astrophisics's do?

They are the same as physicists on the earth except they study the physics of space and celestial bodies


What is the Equal Transit Theory and how does it explain the movement of celestial bodies in the universe?

The Equal Transit Theory suggests that all celestial bodies move at the same rate through space, regardless of their size or mass. This theory helps explain the consistent and predictable movement of celestial bodies in the universe, such as planets orbiting around stars.


I asked which planets have satellites. Your response was two Mercury and Venus donot have moons Is a satellite and moon the same thing?

Yes, in astronomy, a moon and a satellite refer to the same thing - a natural celestial body that orbits a planet. So when we say that Mercury and Venus do not have moons, it means they do not have natural satellites orbiting around them.


What is the same between astronomy and astrology?

Astronomy is a branch of science that deals with the study of (non-earth) celestial bodies in the universe, such as stars, planets, nebulae, and galaxies.Astrology is based on the belief that celestial bodies influence human lives. It isn't regarded as a science (more as a pseudo-science).Both astronomy and astrology deal with the study of celestial bodies.


How can you compare and contrast satellites and asteroids?

thats impossible, they are two words to describe the same thing


How are planets and the moon alike?

Planets and moons are both celestial bodies that orbit around a star, usually a sun. Moons are natural satellites that orbit planets, while planets are larger bodies that orbit a star directly. Both planets and moons have different compositions and sizes, and they play important roles in shaping the gravitational environment of their respective systems.


Why are moons natural satellites to planets?

Satellites are objects placed in orbit by human enterprise. Moons are natural satellites because they orbit planets or other smaller celestial bodies, but are formed in some way out side our control. IE: collisions, captured dwarf planets, or created out of the same Protoplanetary Disk as it's primary.


Are the Moon and Mars the same thing?

They are both celestial bodies, both makes part of the solar system, however, the Moon ( assuming you are referring to the Earth's natural satellite) makes revolution around the Earth, and Mars, which is a planet, makes revolution around the Sun.


Do all colons do different things?

No the colons all do the same thing in our bodies.


Is Golgi complex and Golgi bodies the same thing but in different names?

Yes


How are natural satellites formed?

Natural satellites are formed through various processes, such as gravitational capture, co-accretion, or collision. For example, moons can be captured in a planet's gravitational field, formed alongside their planet from the same material, or created through the collision of a planet with another celestial body, resulting in debris that forms a moon.
