If a planet has a satellite, it de facto is orbiting the planet. In our solar system, Mercury and Venus do not have satellites, Earth has one, Mars two, Jupiter at least 60, as does Saturn. Uranus has 27, Neptune 13. Adn all of them orbit their planet.

Yes, we have satellites orbiting mars. The last few probes that we've sent contained both landers and satellites intended to orbit the planet. They not only photograph the planet but they also serve as relays and retransmitters for the landers when communicating with Earth.

Planets are not considered satellites, but rather celestial bodies that orbit around stars, like our Sun. Satellites are objects that orbit larger celestial bodies, such as planets orbiting around stars or moons orbiting around planets.


Why does Neptune has eleven satellites even when no one is there?

A natural body that rotates around a planet is a satellite, as in a moon. Man made satellites (artificial satellites) are made mostly of metal and rotate around earth looking at weather patterns or orbiting other planets for information. When they say Neptune has eleven satellites, they mean moons orbiting the planet, not man made ones. There doesn't have to be anyone there for there to be satellites of both kinds there.

Why does Neptune have 13 satellites even though it is not orbited by human made objects?

Well, call me a scientist, satellites are sometimes known as ANYTHING that can orbit a rock, star or planet. So, Neptune does have eleven (or more, who knows) moons. Satellites are usually known as the man-made space telescopes, but they can be anything that orbits. Here, let me explain: Planets: Mercury, Earth, Venus... (you know) Stars: The sun Satellites: The moon, Hubble telescope, and other of Earths satellites

What are the suns satellites?

A satellite is an object that orbits a planet. The Sun is a star so it does not have satellites. Actually a satellite is anything that orbits another. So the planets and asteriods are the sun's satellites.
