the satellites probaly mean moons
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.👍
Satellites are natural or artificial bodies that revolve around larger bodies like planets. Except for Mercury and Venus, all of the planets have natural satellites call MOONS.
Those aren't planets; they aren't big enough. We call them "asteroids".
Yes, they do. However, planets CAN orbit around other planets. But we don't call them planets. They're just called moons... really big moons. Did you know that Jupiter's largest moon, Ganymede, and Saturn's largest moon, Titan, are both bigger than Mercury? ~Apple Juice
if you mean the imaginary line that the planets travel on it's called an 'Orbit' or 'obital path'
Bodies that orbit planets or moons are called satellites.
Those are called satellites. In the case of natural satellites, they are also known as moons.

The Earth orbit in which satellites appear to be stationary is called the, "Geostationary Orbit". Some call it a synchronous orbit.
eliptical orbit.
The rocky planets
It is the planets' orbit.
Satellites. The moon is a natural satellite. What you and I commonly call satellites are man-made, of course.
solar system
If you are talking about the planets that orbit our sun, that is called the solar system.
The path a planet takes is called an orbit.The planets are kept in orbit by the gravitational pull of the star (in our case the Sun) they orbit.
Planets orbit stars. Our planet (earth) orbits a star we call the sun.
