Eclipse
An eclipseAn occultation
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.
The amount of substance of a planet is measured in kilograms, a unit of mass. In this sense, there is no difference between one planet and another. It doesn't make much sense to speak about the "weight" of a planet, but you can measure the attraction between a planet and another object in units of force, i.e., in Newtons.
Another word for a meridian is a hemisphere. This is due to the fact that both of those words describe an imaginary line which divides the planet into sections.
just think the universe goes on forever. dont you think the probability is pretty high?
planet ?
Eclipse
you can see a shadow on the planet and its so cool
The effect of a planet or satellite casting a shadow on another is called an eclipse. We see this most often when the earth goes between the moon and the sun. We have solar eclipses where the moon goes between the earth and sun also.
Objects such as moons or satellites that revolve around a planet are typically referred to as "natural satellites" or "moons." Artificial satellites placed in orbit around a planet are simply called "satellites."

A planet orbiting another planet is called a moon or satellite. Moons are natural satellites that orbit planets in our solar system and beyond.
No, satellites do not repel each other. The gravitational force between satellites is attractive, which means they are actually drawn towards each other. This force helps maintain their orbits around a planet.
A space satellite is any man-made object that orbits Earth or another celestial body, while an Earth satellite specifically orbits Earth. Additionally, space satellites can include artificial satellites launched into space for various purposes, while Earth satellites can refer to natural objects like the Moon that orbit our planet.
a planetary satellite is any object that orbits a planet
By definition planets orbit a star and satellites orbit a planet. Therefore there are no satellite planets.
Ganymede and Callisto are natural satellites of the planet Jupiter.
