They are natural or man made bodies which orbit a larger body along a regular path.
Satellites send information. They can also take pictures of different items. Also, Satellites can help stranded boaters as well. They can also relay signals, which is what makes satellite T.V. possible.
The five major types of artificial satellites are: research, communications, weather, navigational, and applications. Please see the related links.

It has 3 satellites!
Triangulation of satellites requires three satellites that bank of one another simultaneously.
Those are called planetary satellites or natural satellites. Each planet has its own set of natural satellites that orbit around it.
Elliptical satellites don't have a constant speed, but circular satellites do
All the satellites, communications, exploratory, military etc. are artificial satellites of Earth.
Applications satellites, like weather satellites, communications satellites (TV, Cell phone, internet), military observation birds, reconnaissance satellites and other "useful" things predominate. Purely scientific satellites such as the Hubble Space Telescope are in the minority.
If each ring can hold 3 satellites, you can accommodate all 24 satellites with 8 rings. Each ring would hold 3 satellites, for a total of 24 satellites.
