Mostly Moons, although a man-made thing that orbit a planet is a satellite. The Goddard Space Flight Center's lists 2,271 satellites currently in orbit. Russia has the most satellites currently in orbit, with 1,324 satellites, followed by the U.S. with 658.
Is the moons orbit in the same 3d plane as earths orbit?
No. For one thing, a plane is, by definition, 2-dimensional. The moon's orbit is tilted about 5 degrees relative to Earth's orbit.

How long does mars take to get to orbit?
It depends if it is an orbit around it's axis or an orbit around the sun. Heres the answer for both: Sun Orbit: 687 Earth Days Axis Orbit: 687 Earth Days The funny thing is that their both still the same :)
Does inertia move up?
