An "artificial satellite" Something orbiting something else is by definition a satellite. If the satellite is man-made, it thus gains the characteristic of being artificial.

What is the reaction force of the gravitational force by earth on a satellite orbiting earth?
According to Newton's Third Law, there is a pair of forces: Earth attracts satellite; satellite attracts Earth. It really doesn't matter which of the two forces you call the "reaction force".
What do they call the big grass on an orbiting satellite?
The big grass on an orbiting satellite would be called a park in space!
What do you call a small space rock while it is orbiting in space much larger and it would be an asteroid?
A rock. If it hits the Earth's atmosphere and we see it, it will be a "meteor". When it lands on the Earth, it will be a "meteorite".
What did they call the big grass field on an orbiting satellite?
A park in space!
What are fragments of matter similar in composition to planets that orbit the sun?
Small fragments of matter orbiting earth are known as meteoroids. Once they enter the atmosphere of the earth, they become meteors.
Is there any moon on earth?
There is no moon on Earth, but there is one orbiting it; we call it the moon.
What do you call a object orbiting the sun?
The solar system includes planets, asteroids, comets and other objects such as the" Kuiper Belt" objects.
What do you call the 6000 useless objects orbiting our planet?
They are called space junk, and there are about 20,000 now that are large enough to be tracked.
What is the pull of gravity on earth called?
You call it the "weight" of objects on Earth.
What do you call all the space objects orbitting the Sun?
There is no scientific term for everything in space, other than "everything." As for objects orbiting a star, a satellite is an object orbiting a larger object. A moon is a planet's satellite, as a planet is often a star's satellite, and a star is often the satellite of a galactic core (often a black hole). A common term for objects orbiting the sun (designation Sol) is "Celestial Bodies" or "Heavenly Bodies." This is not, however, an accurate term, as space is not 'heaven,' or 'celestial,' and 'bodies' imply set and indivisible objects. Therefore, satellites is the best term for "All the space objects orbiting the sun."
How can you call the force that accelerates objects forward earth?
Gravity
What is the pull of earths gravity called?
You call it the "weight" of objects on Earth.
Is the earth in the Milky Way?
Yes, the Earth is a planet orbiting a star which we call the Sun. The Sun is just one of billions of stars orbiting the center of our galaxy which we call the Milky Way. The Milky Way is just one of billions of galaxies that we know to exist in our visible universe.
What did netwon call the attraction between two objects such as the earth and an apple?
gravitational attraction.
Why do they call Pluto the double planet?
They call Pluto the double planet because rather than Charon simply orbiting Pluto, the two objects revolve around their common center of mass, which lies outside of Pluto.
What name is given to the model of the solar system which has all objects orbiting around the Sun?
I would call it "model of the solar system". Answer 2 Ifr you are referring to the mechanical models, they are orreries.
