A "satellite" is an object that orbits around another object. In astronomy terms, we think of them as being bound by gravity, but the word "satellite" is often used to refer to political or social terms as well.

In astronomy, then, the Moon is a satellite of the Earth, the Earth is a satellite of the Sun. The Lesser and Greater Magellanic Clouds are small galaxies which are satellites of the Milky Way.
