Difference between Asteroid and Satellite

Asteroid vs. Satellite

Asteroids are minor planets, especially those of the inner Solar System. In the context of spaceflight, a satellite is an artificial object which has been intentionally placed into orbit.

Similarities between Asteroid and Satellite

Asteroid and Satellite have 26 things in common (in Unionpedia): American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Associated Press, Astronomical unit, Comet, European Space Agency, Horseshoe orbit, Jupiter, Lagrangian point, Mars, Mercury (planet), Moon, NASA, Orbital eccentricity, Orbital inclination, Orbital period, Outer space, Planet, Rosetta (spacecraft), Saturn, Spaceflight, Sun, The New York Times, United Nations, Venus, White House, 3753 Cruithne.

Lagrangian point

In celestial mechanics, the Lagrangian points (also Lagrange points, L-points, or libration points) are positions in an orbital configuration of two large bodies, wherein a small object, affected only by the gravitational forces from the two larger objects, will maintain its position relative to them.

Orbital eccentricity

The orbital eccentricity of an astronomical object is a parameter that determines the amount by which its orbit around another body deviates from a perfect circle.

Orbital inclination

Orbital inclination measures the tilt of an object's orbit around a celestial body.

Orbital period

The orbital period is the time a given astronomical object takes to complete one orbit around another object, and applies in astronomy usually to planets or asteroids orbiting the Sun, moons orbiting planets, exoplanets orbiting other stars, or binary stars.

Planet

A planet is an astronomical body orbiting a star or stellar remnant that is massive enough to be rounded by its own gravity, is not massive enough to cause thermonuclear fusion, and has cleared its neighbouring region of planetesimals.
