Best Answer

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.
