Earth has one major satellite called Luna orbiting it, along with thousands of man-made satellites.
Yes. The moon is an earth satellite. there are actually millions of satellites out there
The only natural satellite of Earth is the Moon, which orbits at an average distance of 234,000 miles (376,000 km). The Moon has a diameter of about 2100 miles (3400 km), about one-fourth that of Earth. It is the fifth-largest moon in the solar system.
Well, you might say so - they revolve around the Sun. However, (1) "satellite" is not normally used as a verb, and (2) the noun "satellite" refers to an object that orbits a planet, not the Sun.
Yes. The planets can be considered satellites of the Sun. However, the word satellite (natural satellite) is normally used to refer to the orbiting moons of planets, dwarf planets, or asteroids.
Yes and no - It depends on your interpretation...
Yes, the Earth is part of the Sun, when you consider that it and the Sun were formed from the same interstellar gases.
No, the Earth is part of the Solar System, which is not the same as the Sun. It is the third planet from the Sun.
No, the earth is a planet. A moon is by definition a satellite of a planet.
Earth has one natural satellite.
It's formal name is "Luna", but it is more commonly referred to (in English) as "The Moon".
Earth has only one natural satellite. That is "the Moon".
It is neither. It is known as a satellite because it orbits a planet
Moon.
The moon.
That is the Moon.
The Moon AKA Luna
Its formal name is "Luna". Most people just call it "the moon".
No. The moon is a natural satellite which orbits our planet every month.
No. A planet is an object that orbits a star such as the sun. Since the moon orbits the planet Earth rather than the sun it is considered a moon, also called a natural satellite.
No, the sun and the moon are not both stars. Our Sun is known as a Main Sequence star, or just an average sized star. Our moon is a planetary satellite, but are kept as moons for short. A star is classified if it is bright and burns hydrogen and helium gas, while a moon, or planetary satellite, are classified when a smaller rocky object (the moon) orbits a planet.
No, the moon is not a star. It's a satellite in the solar system.
The moon that revolves around the earth is not a star, it is part of the earth that was thrown off into space when the earth was hit by a large asteroid early in its development, about 30 million years after the earth first was formed. The closest star to the Earth is our Sun, it is a star and it is called Sol.
No. The moon is a satellite and the sun is a star.
No, a moon is not a star. It is an object that orbits a planet or something else that is not a star. It can also be called a satellite.
The moon is a moon, also known as a natural satellite.
No. The moon is a natural satellite which orbits our planet every month.
Neither -- the Moon is technically a satellite. It is in orbit around a planet. That planet orbits around a star. That star is one of billions of other stars which form a galaxy.
The sun and the moon are not planets. The sun is a star and the moon is a natural satellite. The brightest planet in Earth's sky is Venus.
No. A planet is an object that orbits a star such as the sun. Since the moon orbits the planet Earth rather than the sun it is considered a moon, also called a natural satellite.
No.:moon isnt a star...sun is a star...moon is a satellite...earth's satellite.
The Moon is a moon. A natural satellite of the Earth.
A star is a burning ball of gas out in space. Saturn is a planet with rings. Uranus is also a planet. The moon is a moon - a satellite that orbits a planet. The only burning ball of gas in that list is our sun. The sun's name is actually Sol.
By definition a planet cannot be a satellite. A planet is a body that has cleared most of the debris in its orbit about a star. However, a satellite might have an atmosphere. Titan, the largest moon of Saturn, has an atmosphere more dense than that of earth.
