It is also defined as an artificial object located in orbit around the Earth, another planet or the Sun.
The Moon, the only natural satellite that the Earth has, has a diameter of 3,476 kilometers and is almost 400,000 kilometers away from our planet . By extension, the natural satellites of the other planets are known as the moon.
Within artificial satellites we can distinguish several types, depending on the areas in which they work or the missions they have. On the one hand, one can speak of communications satellites ; on the other, from meteorological satellites , used to study the Earth's climate and weather. A third type is the spy satellite , commonly used in the military and intelligence fields.
