A satellite is an object that is in orbit around an object in space of a larger size. Things such as the Earth's Moon or Pluto's Charon are natural satellites. Humans have also created artificial satellites—human-made machines and spacecraft in orbit around our Earth or other objects in our galaxy. These types of satellites have fundamentally changed humanity—such as connecting us with people across the globe or sending us important scientific information about far away planets.
