What is the difference between moon and satellite?
The word Moon is a name given to the natural satellite in orbit around the Earth. We attribute this name to most objects large enough to see in orbit around other planets. In this way Moons and Natural Satellites are one in the same. Artifical Satellites are what we put into orbit around the earth IE GPS Satellites, but are man made.
What was the name of the first satellite in orbit?
the moon is a satellite or there was a Russian one spudnick

What was the name of the satellite that was the first satellite to orbit earth and the craft circled earth every 95 minutes at almost 2000 miles per hour until three months later it fell from the sky?
Sputnik was the first satellite to orbit the Earth. It was Russian and transmitted a radio signal. It is possible that a earlier satellite could be in orbit, without any communications this would be the same as a cannon shell etc. So long as an object can reach orbit it will constantly drop towards the planet and because the planet is round the object will rotate around being pulled by gravity
