Best Answer

These are bodies in orbit (around each other) due to the forces of gravity.

If the barycenter (the point around which both rotate) of the system is inside one of the bodies (such as the Sun and any of the planets as well as the Earth and Moon system) then the less massive body is said to orbit the more massive one.

If the barycenter is in space between the bodies it is called a binary system or double planet (such as Pluto and Charon)
