The moon could be an example of this. It is an oject that is not man made orbiting another object.
The moon is the only natural satellite the Earth has. The Moon has a formal name and is known as La Luna. A natural satellite is something orbiting another body, that is not man-made. There are many man-made satellites orbiting the Earth, but the moon is the only natural satellite. The Moon itself has no known natural satellites. Many of the other planets of our solar system have more than one moon and so have many natural satellites.The Moon, orbits at an average distance of 234,000 miles (376,000 km). The Moon has a diameter of about 2100 miles (3400 km), about one-fourth that of Earth. It is the fifth-largest moon in the solar system.
about 18,000 man made sattelites are orbiting the earth!
Venus is unique in that it and Mercury are the only planets in the solar system with no natural satellites. Currently the European Space Agency (ESA) has a satellite named Venus Express orbiting the planet.
Its not man made anything that orbits another body is a satellite, so the earth is a natural satellite of the Sun
The moon. It is the earth's only natural satellite.The Earth's largest satellite is the moon, also known as luna.
An "artificial satellite" Something orbiting something else is by definition a satellite. If the satellite is man-made, it thus gains the characteristic of being artificial.
Yes. The earth has many man-made satellites orbiting the earth, but there's also one natural satellite. This satellite is the moon, orbiting earth at about 2288 miles per hour (3683 kilometers per hour)
A moon is a natural satellite, as opposed to an artificial satellite, which is a man-made object in orbit.
Because all other satellites orbiting the earth are man-made.
There are several man made satellites that orbit the Earth. The moon is the only satellite that orbits the Earth in a counter-clockwise fashion, from west to east.
A satellite is one object orbiting another, so the moon is a satellite of Earth. A man made satellite is one we have launched in to orbit. The first being Sputnik, launched by the Russians, to thousands orbiting now providing communications for us in this modern era along with entertainment and GPS.
It showed that orbiting the Earth was feasible, a vital step towards escaping Earth's gravity. (I've assumed that you mean a man-made satellite, rather than our Moon, which is also a satellite of the Earth.)
The answer is obviously, "the moon". But if you're asking about the largest "Man Made" satellite, the answer would be the international space station.
A Satellite (like our moon) Orbiting bodies are in fact orbiting each other, so that there are binary stars (two stars of about equal size) that are orbiting each other, or even binary planets.
IN COMMUNICATIONS: Satellite uses satellite (orbiting) relay-stations in Space but Terrestrial uses cable or antenna-to-antenna signals based entirely on Earth to broadcast your television, radio or cell-phone :) ++++ IN ASTRONOMY: Terrestrial means Earth- (or planet-) bound; a Satellite is any natural or man-made object that orbits a planet. The Moon is a satellite of the Earth.
The first satellite launched into space was the Sputnik I, but before that have you ever considered the fact that a satellite is any object that orbits a heavenly body? The VERY first satellite was in fact the moon. But the first MAN-MADE satellite was Sputnik I launched by USSR.
