What do you call the bodies either natural or artificial the orbit a planet or a moon?
Bodies that orbit planets or moons are called satellites.
Why are the planets called satellites of the sun?
They are natural satellites of the sun. A satellite an object that orbits another object , for a example the moon would be a natural satellite to earth. That is why planets are satellites, they orbit the sun.
What are natural satellites?
Natural satellites are things like our own moon that orbit a planet.In our solar system there are 173 natural satellites that we know of.
Natural or artificial bodies that orbit larger celestial bodies such as planets are called?
satellites
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.

What planets are inside of Earth's orbit?
You cannot have planets orbiting planets. Planets orbit suns. Only satellites orbit planets. In the case of planet Earth, the moon is the only natural satellite.
What orbit the planets?
The orbit of each planet it the path it takes as it rotates round the Sun under the influence of the force of gravity. Every planet has a separate orbit and the orbits all follow Kepler's three laws of planetary motion.

What is an objects that orbit planets?
It can be natural satellites (moons), man-made satellites or small pieces of matter such as ice (rings of the outer planets).
How are the planets sizes related to the number of natural satellites in orbit around them?
6
Are moons minor planets?
No. Minor planets still orbit the sun. Moons are considered natural satellites.
What are natural satellites?
Natural satellites are things like our own moon that orbit a planet.In our solar system there are 173 natural satellites that we know of.
How many satellites are in the solar system?
There are 168 known natural satellites (moons) of the 8 major planets. There are also moons around 3 of the 5 dwarf planets (Pluto, Eris, and Haumea). There are more than 200 artificial satellites (or expired satellites) in Earth orbit or scattered throughout the solar system.
Natural or artificial bodies that orbit larger celestial bodies such as planets are called?
satellites

What are natural or artifial bodies that orbit larger celestial bodies such as planets?
These are called satellites. A lot of planets have natural satellites called moons, which are in orbit around the planet. An artificial satellite is one that is put there by man, it orbits the planet in a similar way.
