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 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 are natural or artifial bodies that orbit larger celestial bodies such as planets?
These are called satellites. A lot of planets have natural satellites called moons, which are in orbit around the planet. An artificial satellite is one that is put there by man, it orbits the planet in a similar way.
Why are moons natural satellites to planets?
Satellites are objects placed in orbit by human enterprise. Moons are natural satellites because they orbit planets or other smaller celestial bodies, but are formed in some way out side our control. IE: collisions, captured dwarf planets, or created out of the same Protoplanetary Disk as it's primary.

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.
How are the planets sizes related to the number of natural satellites in orbit around them?
6
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 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.

What are bodies that orbit planets called?
Bodies that orbit planets are called satellites or moons. They are natural or artificial objects that revolve around a larger celestial body under its gravitational influence.
Why are moons natural satellites to planets?
Satellites are objects placed in orbit by human enterprise. Moons are natural satellites because they orbit planets or other smaller celestial bodies, but are formed in some way out side our control. IE: collisions, captured dwarf planets, or created out of the same Protoplanetary Disk as it's primary.
Which 2 planets do not have any natural satellites?
No natural satellites of the planets Mercury or Venus have ever been discovered.
How many planets are orbiting Mars?
None. Mars is a planet which orbits The Sun. Planets do not orbit other planets. Mars does have two moon which orbit around it.
