Well, isn't that just a delightful question you've asked, my friend! The name of the star is the Sun, and the satellites that orbit it, like our moon, they're known as, you got it, moons! Thank you for taking an interest in the wonders of our cosmic neighborhood - keep your curiosity flowing like a gentle stream on a sunny day!
What else can I help you with?
Why are the planets considered satellites to the sun?
Planets are not classified as satellites of the Sun. Satellites are objects that orbit planets, while planets orbit the Sun directly. Planets are considered celestial bodies that revolve around a star like the Sun.
Do all space satellites stay in the thermosphere?
No. That only applies to low Earth orbit. Geostationary satellites orbit beyond it.
Name all the satellites?
There are thousands of satellites in orbit around Earth, each serving different purposes such as communication, weather forecasting, and Earth observation. Some well-known satellites include the Hubble Space Telescope, International Space Station, GPS satellites, and the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
Are all satellites moons?
No, not all satellites are moons. Satellites are objects that orbit a planet or other celestial body, while moons specifically refer to natural satellites that orbit planets. Artificial satellites, such as those used for communication or scientific purposes, are not considered moons.
Does the sun have satilites?
No, the sun does not have satellites. Satellites are objects that orbit around a celestial body, like Earth, whereas the sun is a star at the center of our solar system. The planets, including Earth, orbit around the sun.
Does dbs also known as direct broadcast satellite such as directv and dishtv orbit in a geosynchronous orbit?
Yes, the satellites orbit in a geosynchronous orbit, as with most all communications satellites. (Some exceptions are satellites such as the global positioning satellites.)

What consists of a star and all bodies in orbit around it?
A star and all the bodies that orbit it is called a, "Star System". The star system that we live in has been named . . . we call it the Solar System, because the name of our star (The Sun) is "Sol".
Which Satellite has an orbit which passes the equator?
All satellites pass the equator. Twice every orbit.
Do all satellites orbit the same direction?
No, all satellites do not orbit Earth at the same altitude. An good overview of this can be found on http://www.idirect.net/Company/Satellite-Basics/How-Satellite-Works.aspx. This overview reviews Low Earth Orbit, Medium Earth Orbit and Geostationary Orbits.
Is the geosynchronous satellites above the equator is follow an elliptical orbit?
All satellites follow an elliptical orbit - they are darn close to circular, but even a circle is an ellipse.
Medium earth orbit satellites?
With large number of low-earth-orbit satellites and the geo-synchronous orbit stuffed full of communications satellites, there aren't all THAT many "medium" altitude satellites. But there are some. The GPS navigation satellites, for example, are in highly inclined 12-hour orbits, and an unknown number of military "spy" satellites are in that middle range.
What is the source of gravitational pull on the planets?
The gravitational pull on all the planets are artificial satellites because the satellites orbit all the planets!
Are all the spacecrafts that go to moon called satellites?
No - satellites do not go to the moon. Satellites orbit planets/moons/objects with gravity in space.
