Most of the asteroids revolve around the sun, and therefore, are technically, its satellites.

What are 3 differences between asteroid and satellite?
Asteroids are celestial objects made of rock or metal that orbit the sun, while satellites are artificial objects placed in orbit around a planet or moon. Asteroids vary in size from a few meters to hundreds of kilometers, while satellites are typically much smaller in size and are man-made. Asteroids can be found throughout the solar system, while satellites are specifically designed and launched by humans for various purposes such as communication, navigation, or scientific research.
What is 2 natural satellites for the sun?
Natural satellites of the Sun are typically referred to as asteroids or comets that follow a path around the Sun. However, in the context of planets, Earth has one natural satellite (the Moon), while Mars has two small moons, Phobos and Deimos. Since the Sun itself does not have natural satellites in the same way planets do, it is more accurate to say that celestial bodies like asteroids and comets orbit the Sun rather than being its satellites.
