Does europa match the definition of a planet although it is a moon?
No. Europa does not meet the definition of a planet because it does not orbit the sun. It orbits the planet Jupiter.
What are the satellite planets?
By definition planets orbit a star and satellites orbit a planet. Therefore there are no satellite planets.

What is an object in orbit around the planets?
A planet in an orbit greater than any of the others.An object in orbit around a single planet is a moon or satellite of that planet.
How does the mass of a satellite affect its orbit?
The mass of a satellite does not affect its orbit. The orbit of a satellite is determined by its speed and the gravitational pull of the object it is orbiting around, such as a planet. The mass of the satellite itself does not play a significant role in determining its orbit.
What do you call the path of a planet around the Sun or a satellite around a planet?
This is called "orbit".
Is the satellite subjected to gravitational pull?
Not at all. The mutual gravitational force that attracts the satellite and the earth toward each other is exactly what keeps the satellite in orbit. Without it, the satellite would just take off in a straight line away from the vicinity of the earth.
