What is the difference between a moon and a meteor?
Meteors are objects that fly into earth's atmosphere and burn; sometimes they burn up completely and sometimes they land on the ground (or water). The Moon does not and hopefully never will hit the earth's atmosphere. The Moon is a satellite of Earth; that is to say it orbits around the Earth. Meteors are not satellites; they just fly in from wherever.

What is the definition of satellite?
In terms of space, a satellite is a body that orbits around another. This can be either a natural satellite, like the moon orbiting the Earth, or an artificial one like the Mariner 10 satellite or the communications satellites that daily provide us with access to information worldwide.A natural satellite or moon is a celestial body that orbits a planet or smaller body, which is called the primary. Technically, the term natural satellitecould refer to a planet orbiting a star, or a dwarf galaxy orbiting a major galaxy, but it is normally synonymous with moon and used to identify non-artificial satellites of planets, dwarf planets, and minor planets. (There are no known natural satellites of moons.)A satellite is essentially something that orbits a planet, it can be man made (eg. GPS satellites) or celestial bodies (eg. the earths moon).A satellite is an artificial body put in to orbit around the earth, sun, moon or planet for communication purposes or to collect information.A satalite is an object that orbits another object. For example, the moon is a satalite because it orbits the Earth. The Earth is also a satalite because it orbits the sun. Any rock that is orbiting the Earth right now is also a satalite etc, etc.
