What is a natural satellite?
In: Other
A satellite is a smaller object orbiting a larger object.
If the smaller object is a device made by humans, launched from a rocket, it’s an “artificial satellite”. Of course “artificial” means human-made.
A natural satellite is a satellite that occurs in nature. That is, it’s a smaller object that started orbiting a larger object, but it wasn’t made / sent into position on purpose by a civilization (human or otherwise).
What are they? Natural satellites are things like moons and smaller space rocks that orbit a planet.
