Difference Between Planet and Satellite
For starters, a planet is a body orbiting a star that is big enough to be rounded by its own gravity, not massive to cause a thermonuclear reaction. A satellite is an object in space that orbits or circles around a larger object.
Answer:
A satellite is an object, whether it be man made or natural, that orbits the larger body.
If we talk about the Sun, everything orbiting it is a satellite. Planets are bodies that orbit the Sun, have a substantial amount of mass, has a strong enough gravitational field to create near perfect spherical shape and has cleared rocky objects out of its ‘neighbourhood’ (according to the International Astronomical Union).
The Moon is a satellite of the Earth but not considered a satellite of the Sun (as it doesn't orbit the Sun but orbits the Earth). So moons of planets or dwarf planets are not technically the satellites of the Sun.
So, all planets are satellites (if we are talking about the Sun) but not all satellites are planets. Satellites can range from a tiny rock the size of tennis ball to the Hubble Space Telescope or a microscopic dust particle in Saturn’s rings to the size of Jupiter. It all depends on what ‘larger body’ we are talking about.
