Originally Answered: What is the difference between a planet a satellite?
Planets and satellites (and stars for that matter) are all similar in that they revolve around a more massive body with a higher gravitational field.
A satellite is a body that revolves around a planet, whether it is a natural satellite, such as a moon, or an artificial satellite, like the Hubble telescope, International Space Station, or any other number of satellites for communication, navigation, information, etc.
A planet is a large body that revolves around a star.
A star is a body that revolves around a galactic core, which in some cases (such as the Milky Way) is a black hole.

A moon normally orbits a planet, but a moon can orbit another moon until it gets pulled away by something larger. A planet is a large body orbiting a sun. It has cleared its orbit of other objects. ... There are many artificial satellites orbiting around Earth.
