What is a natural satellite?
In: Other
A moon. Basically, a natural satellite is a natural object that orbits a planet. On Earth, we have one main one, The Moon. But there are also a bunch of tiny natural satellites that are more like asteroids. Meanwhile, Jupiter and Saturn have a whole bunch of natural satellites.
But, you could also consider the planets as natural satellites of the Sun, so it’s a slightly more general term than just “a moon.”
