Why is earth called a satellite?
Earth is not called a satellite; rather, it is a planet that orbits the Sun. A satellite is typically defined as a celestial body that orbits a larger body, such as a planet or moon. In this context, the Moon is Earth's natural satellite, as it orbits our planet. Conversely, Earth, along with other planets, is a satellite of the Sun.
Is the moon an outer planet or inner planet?
The moon is not classified as a planet at all. It is a natural satellite of Earth.
What is a body in orbit around a planet called?
A body in orbit around a planet is called a satellite.
Why is the moon called a satellite of earth?
A satellite is an object that orbits around a planet or body in space. There are artificial satellites and natural satellites. An artificial satellite is an object, like a space station, that has been set into orbit around a planet by humans. A natural satellite naturally finds its way into close orbit around a planet, like the moon naturally orbits the Earth.
If the earth is to the moon what is to the satellite?
The Earth is to the Moon as a planet is to its moon. So, if we're talking about a satellite orbiting a planet, then the planet would be analogous to the Earth, and the satellite would be analogous to the Moon.
What is a satellite of a planet called?
A moon
What is a natural satellite which orbits a planet called?

Is the moon a planet or a satellite?

No the moon is not a planet, it is a natural satellite of Earth.
What is a natural satellite that orbits a planet called?
