An object that moves around a larger object in space, like the moon around Earth
Real World Example
Imagine you're trying to keep a hula hoop spinning around your waist. Just like the hula hoop needs the right speed and direction to keep circling you without falling, a satellite must travel at the right velocity and path to orbit around a larger object like Earth. In this analogy, your waist represents the planet, the hula hoop is the satellite, and the spinning motion is the satellite's orbit, demonstrating how balance and momentum keep both in consistent motion around their central points.
