A "natural satellite" is a body in space that revolves around (orbits) another body. Technically the planets are all satellites of the Sun, but the term is usually applied to the moons, moonlets, and other bodies circling a planet.The usage is required to differentiate moons, which were always satellites, from man-made or artificial satellites which were increasingly referenced as merely "satellites".Something not sent into space by humans, (eg not a sputnik, space station or rubbish). The moon, or even a captured asteroid, would be "natural"

What do you call all the space objects orbitting the Sun?
There is no scientific term for everything in space, other than "everything." As for objects orbiting a star, a satellite is an object orbiting a larger object. A moon is a planet's satellite, as a planet is often a star's satellite, and a star is often the satellite of a galactic core (often a black hole). A common term for objects orbiting the sun (designation Sol) is "Celestial Bodies" or "Heavenly Bodies." This is not, however, an accurate term, as space is not 'heaven,' or 'celestial,' and 'bodies' imply set and indivisible objects. Therefore, satellites is the best term for "All the space objects orbiting the sun."
