Difference between Hill sphere and Natural satellite

Hill sphere vs. Natural satellite

An astronomical body's Hill sphere is the region in which it dominates the attraction of satellites. A natural satellite or moon is, in the most common usage, an astronomical body that orbits a planet or minor planet (or sometimes another small Solar System body).

Similarities between Hill sphere and Natural satellite

Hill sphere and Natural satellite have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): Asteroid, Asteroid belt, Astronomical object, Ceres (dwarf planet), Lagrangian point, Neptune, Orbit, Planet, Retrograde and prograde motion, Solar System.

Asteroid

Asteroids are minor planets, especially those of the inner Solar System.

Asteroid belt

The asteroid belt is the circumstellar disc in the Solar System located roughly between the orbits of the planets Mars and Jupiter.

Astronomical object

An astronomical object or celestial object is a naturally occurring physical entity, association, or structure that exists in the observable universe.

Ceres (dwarf planet)

Ceres (minor-planet designation: 1 Ceres) is the largest object in the asteroid belt that lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, slightly closer to Mars' orbit.

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.

Neptune

Neptune is the eighth and farthest known planet from the Sun in the Solar System.

Orbit

In physics, an orbit is the gravitationally curved trajectory of an object, such as the trajectory of a planet around a star or a natural satellite around a planet.

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.

Retrograde and prograde motion

Retrograde motion in astronomy is, in general, orbital or rotational motion of an object in the direction opposite the rotation of its primary, that is the central object (right figure).
