moon Actually, anything that orbits a planet is called a satellite. Natural examples are moons, but man-made ones are things like the telescopes sent up from earth.
What else can I help you with?
Does the moon count as a planet?
No, the moon is not considered a planet. It is a natural satellite that orbits a planet, in this case Earth. A planet is defined as a celestial body that orbits a star and is massive enough to have its own gravity shape it into a round or nearly round shape.
A large object that orbits a star is a?
Planet.
What is the difference between a planetary object and a moon?
A planetary object is a body that orbits a star (like a planet or a dwarf planet), whereas a moon is a natural satellite that orbits a planetary object. Moons are smaller bodies that orbit planets or dwarf planets.
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.
What is the difference between the natural satellite and earth?
A natural satellite is an object that orbits a planet, while Earth is a planet that has its own natural satellite, the Moon. Earth is a celestial body that orbits the Sun, whereas a natural satellite orbits a planet.
What objects orbit a planet?
When an object, either man-made or natural, orbits a planet it is called a satellite.
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 an object that orbits a larger object?
An astronomical object that moves (revolves) around a larger object is called a satellite. A natural satellite of a planet is called a moon.
Does the moon count as a planet?
No, the moon is not considered a planet. It is a natural satellite that orbits a planet, in this case Earth. A planet is defined as a celestial body that orbits a star and is massive enough to have its own gravity shape it into a round or nearly round shape.
A large object that's orbits a planet is call a?
Anything that orbits a planet is called a satellite. There are 2 types: artificial (the ones we make take the old Sputnik for example) and natural (the Moon)
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?
The Moon.
What is a small object that orbits the sun?
a planet
A large object that orbits a star is a?
Planet.
What is the difference between a planetary object and a moon?
A planetary object is a body that orbits a star (like a planet or a dwarf planet), whereas a moon is a natural satellite that orbits a planetary object. Moons are smaller bodies that orbit planets or dwarf planets.
