There is more information available on this subject at Natural satellite on the English Wikipedia. |
A natural satellite, referred to as a satellite[1][2][3] or moon,[4][5] is a celestial body that orbits a planet or smaller body, which is referred to as a "gravity anchor".[4] Moons vary widely in size, surface features, or atmosphere.
Overview[edit]
Some natural satellites were only asteroids captured by a planet's orbit, such as Reach's smaller moon Turul.[6] Other moons are the size of planets, such as Basis which is nearly twice the size of Earth.[7]
There are a number of planets that have extensive systems of moons, like Threshold and its 12 satellites,[5] or Vitalyevna and its 27 moons.[8]
