Answer An object moving around a star may be a planet, an asteroid or a comet. An object moving around a planet is called a satellite. Answer earth moves around from sun and the moon moves around from earth. Answer It is referred to as a satellite.

∙ 13y agoEarth has one natural satellite, the moon, which is in orbit around the earth. There are around 3000 man made satellites currently in orbit and several more thousand (around 5000 additional) man-made objects in orbit which are over 10cm (space debris etc.).

∙ 14y agoThe objects that can orbit around stars as follows.
- Stars - Most stars belong to binary systems. Down to 0.075 solar masses.
- Brown Dwarf Stellar Object - between 0.075 solar masses and 13 Jovian masses (0.012 solar masses).
- Planets - Gas Giant, Ice Giants, Terrestrial. - Objects sufficient in size to become spherical because of gravity and also large enough to clear the area around there own orbit.
- Dwarf planets - Object big enough to become spherical but not big enough to clear the area around there orbit.
- Asteroids - Rocky bodies larger than Meteoroids but smaller than Dwarf planets.
- Comets - Icy bodies larger than Meteoroids but smaller than dwarf planets.
- Meteoroids. - Any natural object ranging in size from dust to boulder size.
It is conceivable that a black hole could also orbit a large star.

∙ 14y agoOne Moon, a couple of thousand artificial satellites, and tens of thousands of pieces of "space junk" such as old rocket boosters, tools, collision debris from at least three destroyed satellites. We humans are a messy bunch; we've even littered up the orbit!

∙ 11y agoIt depends. It could be a satellite (a moon or an artificial satellite) or a planet or
even a star. Then there are other objects such as asteroids and comets. Probably this question is expecting "satellite" as the answer.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoThe moon is the most obvious thing that orbits Earth. At any time there are many satellites and occasionally some other spacecraft orbiting Earth. There are also individual objects that have been dropped by astronauts or things effectively dumped in space during our space exploration that are still orbiting us.

When a celestial body moves in an orbit around another celestial body?
Its means that if there is a planet, for example: Earth, The Earth is surrounded by the moon....so its actually means that a planet is surrounded by something else/A Planet
What was the first space mission to orbit any celestial body other than the earth?
The first spacecraft to orbit any other celestial object was the Soviet Luna probe, which took the first-ever photos of the far side of the Moon.
What is an aphelia?
An aphelia is the point in the orbit of a celestial body at which it is furthest from the body it orbits.
What is the minimum mass or volume requirement for an object to be classified as a natural satellite?
There is no minimum mass or volume requirements for an object to be classified as a natural satellite. For this classification to happen, a body must orbit around a planet or other celestial body.
What celestial body does the moon orbit?
Usually the Moon (Earth's) is said to orbit Earth, although the latter is sometimes not regarded as a celestial body per se. There are also arguments based on the nature of the lunar orbit that it is actually co-orbiting the Sun along with the Earth, that Earth and our moon simply share an orbit.
What is a sattellite?
An object launched to orbit Earth or another celestial body.
What is the path followed by a celestial body or satellite as it revolves around a more massive object?
Its orbit

What example of aphelion?
The point on the orbit of a celestial body that is farthest from the sun.
What is the path of a celestial body in its revolution around other?
It is the orbit. For example, the Earth is in orbit round the Sun.
Most of our objects in our Solar System orbit what celestial body?
Our Sun, although with the amount of debris in Earth orbit...

What is a moons technical name?
A moon can also be referred to as a natural satellite, which is defined as "a celestial body that orbits another body". A natural satellite can orbit a planet, dwarf planet, minor planet, asteroid, or almost any other celestial object. The object being orbited is referred to as the natural satellite's primary.
