Yes. In the special case, they may be circular, or nearly so. A circle is a special case of an ellipse.
These are called satellites. A lot of planets have natural satellites called moons, which are in orbit around the planet. An artificial satellite is one that is put there by man, it orbits the planet in a similar way.
Artificial and natural satellites. Artificial satellites are man-made satellites sent into space for a variety of different purposes e.g. taking pictures of the earth for scientific investigation Natural satellites are moons, which orbit planets and are not man-made.
Objects orbiting a planet called satellites. They can be natural satellite like Earth's Moon or artificial satellites such as the International Space Station or different communication satellites made by and set on orbit by men.
A natural satellite is something that is in orbit of another thing that was placed their by natural means; in other words accidentally. An artificial satellite is something that is in orbit of another thing that was placed their intentionally.
MEO (Medium Earth Orbit), HEO (High Earth Orbit), and GEO (Geostationary Orbit) are all circular orbits. Each of these orbits have specific altitudes and characteristics that make them ideal for different types of satellites and missions.
As an elliptical orbit is any orbit that isn't perfectly circular, everything has an elliptical orbit. The planets Mercury and Pluto have the most elliptical orbits of the planets, and are easily seen to be oval shaped. Comets also have highly elliptical orbits.
These are called satellites. A lot of planets have natural satellites called moons, which are in orbit around the planet. An artificial satellite is one that is put there by man, it orbits the planet in a similar way.
Satellites are natural or artificial bodies that revolve around larger bodies like planets. Except for Mercury and Venus, all of the planets have natural satellites call MOONS.

In astronomy, the term "moon" specifically refers to a natural satellite that orbits a planet, like Earth's moon. Satellites, on the other hand, can refer to both natural moons and artificial objects placed into orbit around planets. So, while all moons are satellites, not all satellites are moons.
All the Planets, dwarf planets, comets and asteroids in the Solar System are natural satellites of the Sun. A natural satellite is something which orbits a parent body and is not made by man. Hence Earth is a natural satellite of the Sun, and the Moon is a natural satellite of the Earth. The Moon is not a satellite of the Sun because it orbits the Earth. The ISS and what people call satellites are technically 'artificial satellites' because they are made by people.
Srictly, a planet orbits a star, while a satellite orbits a non-stellar body. Planet is natural whereas satellite is either natural or artificial. Artificial satellites may have different speed, whereas planets have the same speed always.
There are many artificial satellites - thousands of them. The Moon, however, is the only natural object that is large enough to be noticed.
No, not all satellites are moons. Satellites are objects that orbit a planet or other celestial body, while moons specifically refer to natural satellites that orbit planets. Artificial satellites, such as those used for communication or scientific purposes, are not considered moons.
A satellite is an object that orbits around another object. A satellite can either be natural, like a moon, or man-made like the satellites that help bring Internet and television from around the world.
any object, natural or artificial, that orbits another object is called a "satellite"
artificial and natural satellites lang ang alam ko artificial satellite an object that orbits another object know as its primary.The term is often used to describe an artificial satellite.Artificial satellites should be compared to another satellite in orbit around the earth which are not man made ad therefore natural satellit. ^__^ natural satellite has no us as such. sana makatulog po ito <3
