The planet earth upon which we live has precisely one natural satellite which is known as the moon or luna and it has a great many artificial satellites including the international space.
What is earth known satellites.
A satellite is a moon planet or machine that orbits a planet or star.
Natural satellites are celestial bodies that orbit something.
They vary in size.
Very little is known about the full power of these satellites as governments who operate them usually keep information pertaining to their reconnaissance satellites classified.
There may be others that serve similar functions but the satellites listed are exemplars.
In a more symbolic answ.
Satellites in a low earth orbit are also pulled out of their orbit by drag from the atmosphere.

Though satellites in low earth orbit travel through the uppermost thinnest layers of the atmosphere air resistance is still strong enough to tug at them pulling them closer to the earth.
It is a natural satellite.
Noaa 18 known before launch as noaa n is a weather forecasting satellite run by noaa.
Most of these satellites are representative of an entire class of satellites.
Therefore the earth is a satellite of the sun.
The smaller body is held in orbit by gravitation the term is used for moons which go around planets and it is also used for small galaxies which orbit larger galaxies.
Bodies which orbit planets are called moons.
Although no other moons of earth have been found to date there are various types of near earth objects in 1 1 resonance with it which are known as quasi satellites quasi satellites orbit the sun from the same distance as a planet rather than the planet itself.
