All the Planets, dwarf planets, comets and asteroids in the Solar System are natural satellites of the Sun. A natural satellite is something which orbits a parent body and is not made by man. Hence Earth is a natural satellite of the Sun, and the Moon is a natural satellite of the Earth. The Moon is not a satellite of the Sun because it orbits the Earth.
