A "moon" or a "satellite" of that planet
A heavenly body revolving around the sun and receiving light from it is a planet. For example, Earth is a planet that orbits the sun, receiving sunlight that sustains life. Other celestial bodies, such as moons and asteroids, also experience sunlight, but planets are specifically defined by their orbit around a star.
What makes a moon a moon is the fact that it is smaller than the object it is orbiting, and is orbiting the object (the planet) constantly.The definition of a moon is "a natural satellite revolving around a planet". Since a satellite is an object that orbits a bigger object, usually a planet, and is not a planet due to its small size, it is considered a moon and not another planet.

A planet is a body that orbits around a star.
A dwarf planet is a celestial body that orbits the Sun and has enough mass for its gravity to form it into a spherical shape, but has not cleared its orbit of other debris. An asteroid is a small rocky body that orbits the Sun, typically found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, and does not have enough mass to be considered a dwarf planet.

They're considered moons. If I'm mistaking, no moons create their own light. The Sun's rays reflect off of the "small revolving body" surface and create the light we see.
If two planet's of same mass revolving around the other body at the distance a and b respectively bus more than a and in front of each other then after how much time they will again come in front of each other

The small body of the moon that orbits a planet is called a satellite.
A body in orbit around a planet is called a satellite.
A satellite is an object which orbits a larger body. For example, the Moon orbits the Earth, and the Earth orbits the Sun. The Moon is a satellite of the Earth and the Earth is a Satellite of the Sun.
A planet is a body that orbits around a star.
Rotation is a body spinning on it's own axis and revolution is the body revolving around an external axis.
