Satellite

An object that moves around a larger object in space, like the moon around Earth
Real World Example
Imagine trying to keep a hula hoop spinning around your waist without it falling to the ground. Just like the hula hoop needs your body's motion to stay in orbit around your waist, a satellite needs the gravitational pull of a larger object, like Earth, to keep moving in space. In this analogy, your waist represents the Earth, the hula hoop is the satellite, and the continuous motion required to keep the hula hoop spinning is akin to the gravitational force that keeps the satellite in orbit.
