No that would mean that it is a piece of rock that somehow detached from the Earth and is now orbiting it, therefore making it a moon. A planet does not orbit a planet.Quote:

If a planet orbits another planet that would make it a moon. There isn't a physical difference between a planet and a moon, the difference is purely lexical.Quote:

Oh, my photoshoped image made it on news then
It's either a pile of rocks or a fake.
The moon is a natural satellite of Earth. Earth and the other 7 planets are satellites of The Sun.
i find that offensive, please warn him :| (joke by the way)Quote:

Something that orbits something else is a satellite. A mass orbiting a star is a planet, a mass orbiting a planet is a moon. A mass orbiting a moon is a moon of that moon i think.Quote:

ok, according to my research, they are called secondary planets:

Quote:
The name given to each of the heavenly bodies that revolve in approximately circular orbits round the Sun (primary planets), and to those that revolve round these (secondary planets or satellites).
if the planet has a large gravitational pull (meaning that it is an extremely large planet (or dense)) then it can have a planet orbit it, similar to how a planet orbits a star
Lol, maybe you should zoom, focus on the texture of other rocks that have no light shining on its side so darker and soon see ;)
Plus why would it walk like a zombie, its like Im just strolling down my beach which goes on forever waving my arms woot woot.
JOSH, A MOON IS A NATURAL SATELLITE,Quote:

What if it is..?Quote:
