Natural satellites, commonly known as moons, are celestial bodies that orbit planets within our solar system. They are held in orbit by gravitational attraction to their parent planet.
Natural satellites come in various sizes and compositions, ranging from rocky bodies to icy worlds. They play significant roles in planetary systems, influencing phenomena such as tides, orbital stability, and planetary rotation.
Earth’s moon is the most well-known example, but other planets in our solar system also have moons, each with unique characteristics and features.
