A natural celestial body that orbits a planet is called a satellite. Moons are satellites of planets. The Earth has one moon, but other planets like Jupiter and Uranus have many moons or satellites.
A body in terms of space is referred to as a satellite. A natural body is something that occurred naturally, such as the moon is to Earth. Artificial referrs to the telecommunication satellites placed in space by humans for weather observation, GPS, communication as well as other reasons.
The natural body that orbits a planet is known as a moon or satellite.
It's the moon.
It's a satellite of the planet.
PLANET
there are many objects, these are all of the bodies I know of; there are dwarf planets, asteroids, and comets.
A dwarf planet is a body that orbits the sun - is often beyond the orbit of Jupiter and is classified below a planet. An asteroid is a body that orbits the sun within the asteroid belt.
Asteroid Belt
Natural Satellite, a body in space that orbits a larger body. The larger body is referred to as the satellite's primary.
Every planet, asteroid and comet in our solar system orbits the sun. The only natural body that orbits Earth is its moon.
A satellite is an object that orbits around a planet or body in space. There are artificial satellites and natural satellites. An artificial satellite is an object, like a space station, that has been set into orbit around a planet by humans. A natural satellite naturally finds its way into close orbit around a planet, like the moon naturally orbits the Earth.
Srictly, a planet orbits a star, while a satellite orbits a non-stellar body. Planet is natural whereas satellite is either natural or artificial. Artificial satellites may have different speed, whereas planets have the same speed always.
It's a satellite of the planet.
A planet is a large body of rock or gas that orbits a star, such as the sun.
It can be a planet.
SATELLITE!!!!!!!!!!
PLANET
the moon orbits the earth and one definition of a satellite is "a natural body that revolves around a planet"
The moon IS a satellite - a celestrial body that orbits a planet. Natural satellite is usually synonymous with moon.
By definition, a planet is a celestial body that orbits a star (the sun) directly. A satellite is an object in space that orbits a planet. Mercury, which is comparable in size to our Moon, orbits the sun. Therefore, Mercury is a planet. Our Moon is a satellite of Earth. If it had its own path around the sun, we wouldn't have a moon and it would be considered a planet.
