That's called a binary star. Since the mass of the two stars is fairly similar (not nearly as much mass difference as between the Sun and Earth, for example), both are in orbit; it is more accurate to say that both stars move around the common center of mass.

What else can I help you with?
What is an object that revolves around the planet?
Moons and planetary rings can revolve around a planet.A satellite or moon.A satellite or if it's big enough a moon
What is a satellite that orbits earth?
If by satellite you mean an object that orbits the earth, then the Moon is a satellite of the earth. There are thousands of other satellites put into orbit by both private and public organizations used for everything from GPS to communication and even you TV service.
Can an object be a satellite and orbit another object at the same time?
Yes. The whole idea of being a satellite is that the object orbits another object. If you mean 'can a satellite orbit more than one object', then the answer is also yes. Objects orbiting binary stars would be an example of this.
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.
What moves around another object in an orbit?
That is called a satellite.
Jupiter is a satellite of another object?
Yes it is a satellite of the sun, because it orbits around the Sun in an ellipse. Any planet is a satellite in our solar system because it orbits our Sun.
Can earth be called as a satellite of the sun?
Yes
What is an object that revolves around the planet?
Moons and planetary rings can revolve around a planet.A satellite or moon.A satellite or if it's big enough a moon
How is the moon a natural satellite?
Its not man made anything that orbits another body is a satellite, so the earth is a natural satellite of the Sun
Why they are called satellites?
A satellite is an object that orbits another. Hence the earth is a satellite of the sun, and the moon is a satellite of the earth because they orbits those respective bodies. Artificial satellites (GPS, weather, etc) are man made objects that orbit another body (typically the earth).
When a planet or one of its satellites casts its shadow on another planet or satellite an event occurs that you call a what?
The effect of a planet or satellite casting a shadow on another is called an eclipse. We see this most often when the earth goes between the moon and the sun. We have solar eclipses where the moon goes between the earth and sun also.
What is a satellite that orbits earth?
If by satellite you mean an object that orbits the earth, then the Moon is a satellite of the earth. There are thousands of other satellites put into orbit by both private and public organizations used for everything from GPS to communication and even you TV service.
What happens with satellite TV when there is a sun outage?
The Sun is the prime energy source for the planet earth. It burns and gives the planet light every day. The sun never goes out, but at certain times during the orbit of the satellite, the sun will affect how the satellite transmits. This is called a "sun outage" Sometimes, the sun will release large plasma masses called Coronal Mass Ejections, and these events may disrupt satellite TV. Satellite TV interference is common due to solar radiation, solar wind, and CMEs.
Can an object be a satellite and orbit another object at the same time?

What is an object that revolves around another called?
Satellite or orb
