The moon is often referred to as a natural satellite because it orbits the Earth, just as artificial satellites orbit the planet. It is held in its orbit by the Earth's gravitational pull, which keeps it in a stable path. Unlike artificial satellites, which are man-made and launched into space, the moon formed naturally and has been in orbit around Earth for billions of years. Its presence influences various phenomena on Earth, such as tides.
