Natural satellites in orbit around a planet or dwarf planet, from Earths own Moon to the many moons of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Mars and Pluto. Belongs here: any body whose defining orbital relationship is around a planet or dwarf planet rather than the Sun directly. Does not belong here: the planet or dwarf planet itself being orbited, grouped under Planets and the Sun or Dwarf Planets, or a body orbiting the Sun directly with no planetary parent, grouped under Asteroids and Minor Planets, Comets or Trans-Neptunian and Outer Solar System Objects.
