A large object that orbits a star is a?
Planet.
How a satellite and an object work together?
it orbits araund the planet
Why is the moon called a satellite of earth?
A satellite is an object that orbits around a planet or body in space. There are artificial satellites and natural satellites. An artificial satellite is an object, like a space station, that has been set into orbit around a planet by humans. A natural satellite naturally finds its way into close orbit around a planet, like the moon naturally orbits the Earth.
Which moon orbits farthest from its planet?
The moon that orbits farthest from its planet is Calisto. Calisto is also the most heavily cratered object in the entire solar system.
What an object that orbits a sun but does not make its own light?
Pluto (if you still consider it as a planet),

What is a natural satellite which orbits a planet called?
A natural satellite that orbits a planet is a moon
A large object that's orbits a planet is call a?

What is a natural or artificial object that orbits another object called?
any object, natural or artificial, that orbits another object is called a "satellite"
What is the difference between a planet and a natural satellite?
A planet is an object that orbits a star, has enough gravity to make itself mostly round, and has cleared other objects out of its orbit. A satellite is an object that orbits another object that is itself orbiting a star. The object may be a planet, dwarf planet, asteroid, or comet.
What is a natural orbits a planet?
