Satellites that are made by people and launched into orbit
using rockets are called artificial satellites. There are thousands of
artificial satellites orbiting the Earth.
The inner planets, Mercury and Venus have no natural satellites; Earth
has one large natural satellite, known as the Moon; and Mars has
two tiny natural satellites, Phobos and Deimos.
