Satellite

An object that moves around a larger object in space, like the moon around Earth
Real World Example
Imagine trying to walk your dog in a park where it constantly circles around you as you move forward. This scenario is similar to how satellites, like the moon, orbit larger objects in space such as Earth. Just as your dog is tethered to you by a leash and circles around while you both move together, a satellite is bound by gravitational forces to orbit its planet, maintaining a circular or elliptical path as both the satellite and planet move through space.
