simple! planets are huge or normally bigger than satellites in terms of mass, area and size. planets normally have a atmosphere like the earth. planets revolve around the sun whereas satellites revolve around the planet. both of them are non luminous object which means they reflect the light from the sun. satellites are usually fragments of a planet when it was forming.

Are moons satellites to planets?
yes moons are satellites to other planets

Why are the planets considered satellites?
Planets are not considered satellites, but rather celestial bodies that orbit around stars, like our Sun. Satellites are objects that orbit larger celestial bodies, such as planets orbiting around stars or moons orbiting around planets.
What is the name of objects that revolve around planets?

What makes planets and satellites?
after a star explodes, the star dust coalesces to form more stars, planets, and satellites
Differentiate between a Planet and a Satellite?
Satellite is a gadget used to observe information about the space and planets are worlds where different creatures live and the planets are reflecting light.
Do Inner planets rings and satellites more rings and satellites than outer planets?
No, outer planets have more rings and satellites compared to inner planets. For example, Jupiter has the most known satellites with over 80 moons, while Saturn is known for its extensive ring system. Inner planets like Earth and Mars have few to no natural satellites.
