Earth has one natural satellite (the moon). There are also several stray rocks in odd orbits but none of these is considered significant or long-term.

The United States Space Surveillance Network is tracking more than 8000 man-made objects in orbit that are 10 cm in diameter or larger. About 560 of these are artificial satellites (i.e. constructed objects intentionally placed in orbit to perform some function), the rest are debris being tracked to prevent its reentry being mistaken for an incoming missile.
