write about the satellites of various planets of the solar system
Answers
Over the last 50 years, the term satellite has come to be used to describe the man-made satellites launched into orbit for communication and broadcasting purposes, but the term actually refers to any object found to orbit around a planet. Referred to as natural satellites or moons, more than 150 such bodies orbit around planets in the solar system. Just as our moon orbits Earth, satellites have been observed orbiting five other planets: Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
Hey Friend,
Here Is Your Answer,
➡ In the context of spaceflight, a satellite is an artificial object which has been intentionally placed into orbit. Such objects are sometimes called artificial satellites to distinguish them from natural satellites such as Earth's Moon.
➡ In the Solar System there are six planetary satellite systems containing 185 known natural satellites. Four IAU-listed dwarf planets are also known to have natural satellites: Pluto, Haumea, Makemake, and Eris. As of September 2018, there are 334 other minor planets known to have moons.
Hope it helps you.
