Objects that are in orbit around planets are commonly called satellites
yes moons are satellites to other planets
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.
Do all planets and satellites lie on the same gravitational layer?
simple! planets are huge or normally bigger than satellites in terms of mass, area and size. planets normally have a atmosphere like the earth. planets revolve around the sun whereas satellites revolve around the planet. both of them are non luminous object which means they reflect the light from the sun. satellites are usually fragments of a planet when it was forming.
Please specify which planets you mean.
Mercury and Venus don't.

yes moons are satellites to other planets
Natural satellites of planets are called moons, if they are large enough.
Yes, the planets can be described as being satellites of the sun.
Yes, the planets can be described as being satellites of the sun.
All the planets have satellites, except Mercury and Venus.Jupiter
Yes, any planet can have satellites. Gas planets actually have the most satellites due to their large masses.
Moons are satellites of planets.
The gravitational pull on all the planets are artificial satellites because the satellites orbit all the planets!
There are 168 known natural satellites (moons) of the 8 major planets. There are also moons around 3 of the 5 dwarf planets (Pluto, Eris, and Haumea). There are more than 200 artificial satellites (or expired satellites) in Earth orbit or scattered throughout the solar system.
