That depends on the purpose of the satellite. Many are in "low Earth orbit", between 120 and 200 miles up. Communications satellites are generally in "geo-synchronous" orbits 23,000 miles high, and GPS satellites are in 12,000 mile orbits. And many altitudes in between.
Venus has no natural satellites. It does have two artificial satellites (space probes). Venus is one of the two planets in our solar system (together with Mercury) that have no moon/natural satellite.
Earth has one natural satellite and more than a thousand artificial satellites.
You probably mean to ask about natural satellites as opposed to artificial satellites. In terms of neutrality, all satellites are neutral. In any event, the planet Jupiter has the most natural satellites, of any planet in our solar system. The planet Earth has the most artificial satellites.
Some currently popular artificial satellites include the Hubble Space Telescope, the International Space Station (ISS), and the Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites. These satellites serve various purposes such as astronomy research, space exploration, and providing navigation services.
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.
All the satellites, communications, exploratory, military etc. are artificial satellites of Earth.
The five major types of artificial satellites are: research, communications, weather, navigational, and applications. Please see the related links.

over a thousand artificial satellites. the first artificial satellite was sputnik. the only natural satellite earth has is the moon
First was sputnik, but anything from the Direct TV and XM radio satellites and telecommunication, GPS to the International Space Station are artificial satellites in Earth Orbit. There are artificial satellites currently in orbit around other planets as well.
Venus has no natural satellites. It does have two artificial satellites (space probes). Venus is one of the two planets in our solar system (together with Mercury) that have no moon/natural satellite.
Uranus has 27 known artificial satellites as of now. These satellites are typically referred to by numbers rather than names.
There are two kinds of satellites: the artificial and natural satellite.
Mercury has no natural nor artificial satellites.
Sputnik and space probes are artificial satellites
We have used artificial satellites in order to take pictures and study the moon and they did travel around it.
Earth has one natural satellite and more than a thousand artificial satellites.
