A natural satellite that orbits a planet is a moon
A moon.
That is called a "moon" of the planet.
A moon.
Anything that orbits a planet is called a satellite. There are 2 types: artificial (the ones we make take the old Sputnik for example) and natural (the Moon)
An object which orbits a planet is generically called a satellite. The moon is a satellite, but so are artificial satellites, and occasionally asteroids and space junk.
This is a very vague question. First what planets are you referring to? Second, define "satellites" - Earth's moon is a satellite, but so is every single rock orbiting Saturn. We also send man-made satellites to orbit other planets. Restate your question. And lurn2google.
No, a moon is not a star. It is an object that orbits a planet or something else that is not a star. It can also be called a satellite.
A natural celestial body that orbits a planet is called a satellite. Moons are satellites of planets. The Earth has one moon, but other planets like Jupiter and Uranus have many moons or satellites.
That's exactly what it's called, a satellite. Or a moon.
When an object, either man-made or natural, orbits a planet it is called a satellite.
A satellite.
moon Actually, anything that orbits a planet is called a satellite. Natural examples are moons, but man-made ones are things like the telescopes sent up from earth.
An astronomical object that moves (revolves) around a larger object is called a satellite. A natural satellite of a planet is called a moon.
No. A planet is an object that orbits a star such as the sun. Since the moon orbits the planet Earth rather than the sun it is considered a moon, also called a natural satellite.
A satellite is an object that orbits around a planet or body in space. There are artificial satellites and natural satellites. An artificial satellite is an object, like a space station, that has been set into orbit around a planet by humans. A natural satellite naturally finds its way into close orbit around a planet, like the moon naturally orbits the Earth.
Srictly, a planet orbits a star, while a satellite orbits a non-stellar body. Planet is natural whereas satellite is either natural or artificial. Artificial satellites may have different speed, whereas planets have the same speed always.

A natural satellite (or moon), usually orbits a major planet.
An object which orbits a planet is generically called a satellite. The moon is a satellite, but so are artificial satellites, and occasionally asteroids and space junk.
The moon IS a satellite - a celestrial body that orbits a planet. Natural satellite is usually synonymous with moon.
