Planets orbit around the sun but what do moons orbit?
Moons orbit around planets. They are natural satellites that are held in orbit by the planet's gravitational pull.
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?
Objects that are in orbit around planets are commonly called satellites
Why are the planets called satellites of the sun?
They are natural satellites of the sun. A satellite an object that orbits another object , for a example the moon would be a natural satellite to earth. That is why planets are satellites, they orbit the sun.
Are the planets like moons to the sun?
The planets are satellites of the sun. The moons are satellites of the planets. The moons revolve around the planets captured by their gravity, while the planets revolve around the sun captured by its gravity and the sun.

What goes around planets?
Mostly Moons, although a man-made thing that orbit a planet is a satellite. The Goddard Space Flight Center's lists 2,271 satellites currently in orbit. Russia has the most satellites currently in orbit, with 1,324 satellites, followed by the U.S. with 658.
What orbit the planets?
The orbit of each planet it the path it takes as it rotates round the Sun under the influence of the force of gravity. Every planet has a separate orbit and the orbits all follow Kepler's three laws of planetary motion.

Does the sun have satilites?
No, the sun does not have satellites. Satellites are objects that orbit around a celestial body, like Earth, whereas the sun is a star at the center of our solar system. The planets, including Earth, orbit around the sun.
Why are the planets considered satellites to the sun?
Planets are not classified as satellites of the Sun. Satellites are objects that orbit planets, while planets orbit the Sun directly. Planets are considered celestial bodies that revolve around a star like the Sun.
Does the sun have any natural satellites?
No, the sun does not have any natural satellites. Natural satellites typically orbit planets, and the sun is a star at the center of our solar system, so it does not have any objects orbiting around it in the same way planets do.
What do you call satellites that orbit various planets?
Those are called planetary satellites or natural satellites. Each planet has its own set of natural satellites that orbit around it.
What To move in a path around a object is to?
"orbit"
