The moon is called a natural satellite because it is a celestial body that orbits a planet—in this case, Earth—without being man-made. Natural satellites form through various processes, such as co-formation with the planet or capture by its gravitational field. The term "satellite" refers to any object that orbits a larger body, and since the moon exists in this capacity, it is classified as a natural satellite.
