One of the main benefits of satellites is the lack of atmospheric disturbances, whether heat/cold, dust, clouds, light, air/pollution that can cause minor fluctuations in your equipment or of having a clear view. Space is a more stable and clear observation location.

The two Voyager satellites have left the solar system and passed the "heliopause", the boundary layer between the solar system and deep space.
Natural satellites are things like our own moon that orbit a planet.In our solar system there are 173 natural satellites that we know of.
Jupiter has four large satellites, but they are not the four largest in the solar system. Jupiter has the largest, 3rd, 4th, and 6th largest satellites. Saturn has the 2nd largest and Earth has the 5th largest satellite. (Naturally I mean "natural satellites", otherwise called moons.)
As of early 2010, more than 265 natural satellites have been identified in the solar system, orbiting every planet except Mercury and Venus.

the solar system contains satellites that provide "solar power"
Jupiter, with 63 satellites.
As of the end of 2010, planetary astronomers have documented about 245 known satellites of the planets in the solar system.
No. No object in the solar system has a perfectly smooth surface. These satellites have craters, mountains, and valleys.
All the planets have satellites, except Mercury and Venus.Jupiter
The sun.
Moons are considered satellites, hence several planets in our solar system have satellites: Neptune, Earth, Mars, Saturn, Uranus & Jupiter.
Mercury and Venus do not have any natural satellites.
They are the only satellites known in the solar system to have substantial atmospheres.
None. By definition , our "solar system" is everything controlled by the gravity of our sun. The planets, their satellites, asteroids, dwarf planets, comets, interplanetary dust, and man-made satellites are "within" our solar system. Any "planet" outside out solar system is just that - OUTSIDE of it.
