The definition of a satellite be it man made or natural is, a body that orbits the parent. The earth is a satellite of the sun, the moon is a satellite of the earth ans so are all the man made ones we put in space.
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.
An artificial satellite is a man-made object injected into orbit around another object (The Space Station is an artificial satellite of the Earth). A natural satellite is a "natural" object that orbits around another object (The Moon is a natural satellite of the Earth).
Hard to say, there have been so many. Sputnik was the first, and led to the space race between the USA and Russa.
Saturn has 61 identified moons with secure orbits, but we don't know for sure if there are more to yet be discovered. There are millions of smaller rocks and particles orbiting the planet - in the planets extensive ring system. These could be describes as satellites. There is also one artificial satellite in orbit around the planet called Cassini-Huygens, which was put there in 2004 and is still there today.
The first satellite put into orbit by the U.S. was called Explorer 1.
The Soviet Union was the first country to put a satellite in space on October 4, 1957, with the launch of Sputnik 1.
