A '''natural satellite''', referred to as a ''' | A '''natural satellite''', more commonly referred to as a '''moon''', is a celestial body that orbits a planet or smaller body, which is called the ''primary''. Moons vary widely in size, surface features, or atmosphere. Some natural satellites were only [[asteroid]]s captured by a planet's orbit, such as [[Reach]]'s smaller moon [[Turul]].<ref name="moonsinfo">[http://carnage.bungie.org/haloforum/halo.forum.pl?read=1045222 '''halo.bungie.org''': ''I've got your answer, Levi...'']</ref> Other moons are the size of planets, such as [[Basis]] which is nearly twice the size of [[Earth]].<ref>[http://nikon.bungie.org/misc/sloftus_planetscale '''halo.bungie.org''': ''Halo-verse Planetary Scale'']</ref> | ||
The large gas giants of the [[Sol system]] have extensive systems of moons, including half a dozen comparable in size to [[Earth]]'s moon: the four Galilean moons, [[Saturn]]'s [[Titan]], and [[Neptune]]'s Triton. Saturn has an additional six mid-sized moons massive enough to have achieved hydrostatic equilibrium, and [[Uranus]] has five. Jupiter has more than sixty moons, of which only four are colonized. Those moons are called [[Jovian Moons]]. Of the inner planets, [[Mercury]] and [[Venus]] have no moons at all; Earth has one large moon, [[Luna]], and [[Mars]] has two tiny moons, Phobos and Deimos. | |||
