Best Answer

A natural body that rotates around a planet is a satellite, as in a moon. Man made satellites (artificial satellites) are made mostly of metal and rotate around earth looking at weather patterns or orbiting other planets for information. When they say Neptune has eleven satellites, they mean moons orbiting the planet, not man made ones. There doesn't have to be anyone there for there to be satellites of both kinds there.

Do all planets have an artificial satellites?

No. There are no artificial satellites orbiting Mercury, Uranus, or Neptune. Mercury has had artificial satellites in the past that were deliberately deorbited when their missions ended. The space probe Voyager 2 flew by Uranus and Neptune, but since it never orbited them, it cannot be considered a satellite. Similarly, New Horizons flew by Pluto, which is no longer considered a planet. The one space probe orbiting Saturn, named Cassini, will be deorbited in September 2017.
