satellites
They circle planets
Satellites are objects that orbit larger bodies.
The moon is Earth's natural satellite; artificial satellites are machines launched into orbit for communication, navigation, weather monitoring, or observation.
The term extends to anything dependent on or revolving around something more central: satellite offices, satellite states.
A satellite dish receives signals from broadcasting satellites.
The company has satellites in twelve countries.
