What is a body that orbits planet?
It's a satellite of the planet.
What is the definition of a natural satellite?
A natural satellite is a celestial body that orbits a planet. These satellites are not man-made and are typically smaller than the planet they orbit. Earth's moon is an example of a natural satellite.
How do you define a natural satellite?
A "natural satellite" is a body in space that revolves around (orbits) another body. Technically the planets are all satellites of the Sun, but the term is usually applied to the moons, moonlets, and other bodies circling a planet.The usage is required to differentiate moons, which were always satellites, from man-made or artificial satellites which were increasingly referenced as merely "satellites".Something not sent into space by humans, (eg not a sputnik, space station or rubbish). The moon, or even a captured asteroid, would be "natural"
What is a planet and the moons that revolve around it called?
A planet and its moons are collectively referred to as a planetary system. The planet is the primary celestial body that orbits a star, while moons are natural satellites that orbit the planet.
What is the difference between the natural satellite and earth?
A natural satellite is an object that orbits a planet, while Earth is a planet that has its own natural satellite, the Moon. Earth is a celestial body that orbits the Sun, whereas a natural satellite orbits a planet.
What is the difference between the moon and a satellite?
The moon is a natural celestial body that orbits a planet, such as Earth's moon. A satellite, on the other hand, is an artificial object that is launched into space to orbit a planet or celestial body for various purposes, such as communication or observation.
What else can you call a moon?
A moon can also be referred to as a natural satellite or a celestial body that orbits a planet.
Does the moon count as a planet?
No, the moon is not considered a planet. It is a natural satellite that orbits a planet, in this case Earth. A planet is defined as a celestial body that orbits a star and is massive enough to have its own gravity shape it into a round or nearly round shape.
Why is the moon called a satellite of earth?
A satellite is an object that orbits around a planet or body in space. There are artificial satellites and natural satellites. An artificial satellite is an object, like a space station, that has been set into orbit around a planet by humans. A natural satellite naturally finds its way into close orbit around a planet, like the moon naturally orbits the Earth.
Do all planet relove around sun or earth?
Every planet, asteroid and comet in our solar system orbits the sun. The only natural body that orbits Earth is its moon.
What is the name of the small body of the moon that orbits a planet?
The small body of the moon that orbits a planet is called a satellite.
What is different between planet and satellite?
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.

Is a moon a celestial body that orbits the sun?
Well, yes, but it is orbiting a planet, and both of them together orbit the Sun.
What is the definition of a natural satellite?
A natural satellite is a celestial body that orbits a planet. These satellites are not man-made and are typically smaller than the planet they orbit. Earth's moon is an example of a natural satellite.
