What is two natural satellites of the sun?
All the Planets, dwarf planets, comets and asteroids in the Solar System are natural satellites of the Sun. A natural satellite is something which orbits a parent body and is not made by man. Hence Earth is a natural satellite of the Sun, and the Moon is a natural satellite of the Earth. The Moon is not a satellite of the Sun because it orbits the Earth. The ISS and what people call satellites are technically 'artificial satellites' because they are made by people.
How many natural satellites does the earth have and what are the names?
From closest to farthest: Io (volcanic "pizza" moon), Europa (frozen water moon), Ganymede (Moon-like moon), and Callisto (Moon-like moon). When people say things about Jupiter's 32 moons or something like that, they're all asteroids except for these base four. Another viewpoint: Even if some moons are captured asteroids, they are still called "moons" by professional astronomers. Jupiter has over 60 moons (natural satellites). The four named above are certainly the main ones.
