What are man-made satellites?
They are the machines that we put in orbit. Natural satellites are things like the moon, that got into orbit without our intervention.
What is the difference between moon and satellite?
The word Moon is a name given to the natural satellite in orbit around the Earth. We attribute this name to most objects large enough to see in orbit around other planets. In this way Moons and Natural Satellites are one in the same. Artifical Satellites are what we put into orbit around the earth IE GPS Satellites, but are man made.
Some satellites are put into an orbit around the earths poles what is this type of orbit called?
Circum polar satellites.
Why are the planets considered satellites of sun?
Any body that orbits (goes round) another body is called a satellite of that body. Therefore the Moon is a satellite of the Earth and by definition all the Planets are satellites of the Sun. The term 'satellite' is also used to describe man made devices which have been put into orbit round the Earth - however when we make these go round the Sun or other planets we tend to call them 'probes' in this instance.👍
Could a small satellite orbit the moon?
Satellites have been put into orbit around the moon. A list of them is at the link.

What moves around a planet?
A Satellite. There are man made satellites (equipment or stations put into orbit by a rocket) and natural satellites, which are called moons if large enough.

What orbit are monitoring satellites put into?
Polar orbit

How are most artificial satellites put into orbit?
By rockets
What are earth's artificial sateillites?
anything that man put into orbit around the earth. Examples are communication satellites and the international space station.
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.
What are the names of some satellites currently in earths orbit?
Sutnick was the very first Satellite that was put into orbit.=)
What was sputnik I?
The first man made object put into Earth orbit.
