An astronomical body that revolves around a larger body is called a "satellite." This term can refer to natural satellites, like moons that orbit planets, or artificial satellites, which are human-made objects placed into orbit around a celestial body. The larger body being orbited is often referred to as the "primary" or "host" body.

Astrological event characterised by a celestial body hiding a smaller one when travelling in front of it?
This astronomical event is called a transit. It occurs when a smaller celestial body, such as a planet, passes in front of a larger one, like a star, as observed from a different vantage point, such as Earth. Transits are interesting phenomena that provide valuable information for astronomical research and can also be observed from Earth.
How orbital speed of a satellite depends on its radius?
The larger the orbit, the longer the period of revolution. The Space Shuttle, when it is in orbit, revolves once around the earth in about 90 minutes. The moon ... and any other satellite at a distance of about a quarter million miles from earth ... takes about 27 days to revolve once around the earth.

Is an astronomical unit larger than a light year?
No, an astronomical unit (AU) is the average distance between Earth and the Sun, approximately 93 million miles. In comparison, a light year is the distance that light travels in one year, which is about 5.88 trillion miles. Therefore, a light year is significantly larger than an astronomical unit.
