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.
