The definition of a satellite is an object that orbits a planet. Therefore by definition, the sun cannot be a satellite. The solar system does, however, travel around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy.

Effect of earth gravity on saterlite?
A continuous acceleration toward the center of the Earth equal to GM/R2 where G is the Gravitational Constant, M the mass of the Earth and R the distance between the satelite and the center of the Earth. If you multiply this by the mass of the sattelite itself, you get the force acting on the satelite to produce the acceleration. It is this force, causing this acceleration, which holds the satelite in orbit. Without it the satelite would obey Newton's first law of motion and just move out in a straight line. Note that this is true of any object orbiting any thing, whether it is an artificial satellite orbiting the earth, a planet or spacecraft orbiting the Sun, or a star orbiting the center of the galaxy.

What is the moon a satellite or a planet?
The moon is indeed a satelite, however it is not a satelite of the Earth but rather the sun. The moon fails the primary requirement to be considered a satelite of the Earth. The moon's mass is affected more by the gravitational pull of the sun than that of the Earth's. The Earth and Luna are a dual planetary system, circling each other.
