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.
it is called an asteroid. it can also be called a mini planet.
Satellite. If it is big enough, we call it a "moon".
A moon can also be referred to as a natural satellite or a celestial body that orbits a planet.
Satellites are natural or artificial bodies that revolve around larger bodies like planets. Except for Mercury and Venus, all of the planets have natural satellites call MOONS.
The journey a planet makes around the sun is called its orbit.
A planet
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)
because everything orbits around the sun
The third path of an object orbiting another is known as a heliocentric orbit around the Sun or a geocentric orbit around the Earth. It follows an elliptical trajectory, with the object moving in a curved path due to the gravitational pull of the larger body it orbits.
A moon or satellite.
Planets orbit stars. Our planet (earth) orbits a star we call the sun.
Earth. Or in another word, a planet.
It depends on what the object is. If it orbits a planet, then it is a moon. If it orbits the sun and is made of rock and/or metal then it is an asteroid or meteoroid depending on its size. If it is primarily made of ice then it is a comet. Dwarf planets are planet-like objects that do not meet all the criteria of a planet.
A planet that orbits a star is called an exoplanet.
The star that a planet travels around is called its parent star or host star. The parent star provides the gravitational force that keeps the planet in orbit around it. Similarly, our planet Earth orbits around the star we call the Sun.
Asteroids. Most asteroids lie between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
It would be called a moon or, more formally, a natural satellite. In such a case, though it would not be considered a planet as it orbits a planet rather than a star.
