A '''natural satellite''', referred to as a '''satellite'''{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/locations/earth|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Universe - Earth}}{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/locations/alluvion|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Universe - Alluvion}}{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/locations/mars|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Universe - Mars}} or '''moon''',{{Ref/Site|Id=meridian|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/locations/meridian|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Universe - Meridian}}{{Ref/Site|Id=threshold|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/locations/threshold|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Universe - Threshold}} is a celestial body that orbits a [[planet]] or smaller body, which is referred to as a "gravity anchor".{{Ref/Reuse|meridian}} Moons vary widely in size, surface features, or atmosphere.  
A '''natural satellite''', more commonly referred to as a '''moon''', is a celestial body that orbits a planet or smaller body, which is called the ''primary''.


==Overview==
The large gas giants of [[Sol]] have extensive systems of moons, including half a dozen comparable in size to [[Earth]]'s moon: the four Galilean moons, Saturn's Titan, and Neptune's Triton. Saturn has an additional six mid-sized moons massive enough to have achieved hydrostatic equilibrium, and Uranus has five. Jupiter has more than sixty moons, of which only four are colonized. Those moons are called [[Jovian Moons]]. Of the inner planets, Mercury and Venus have no moons at all; Earth has one large moon, [[Luna]], and [[Mars]] has two tiny moons, Phobos and Deimos.
Some natural satellites were only [[asteroid]]s captured by a planet's orbit, such as [[Reach]]'s smaller moon [[Turul]].{{Ref/Site|Id=moonsinfo|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=http://carnage.bungie.org/haloforum/halo.forum.pl?read=1045222|Site=halo.bungie.org|Page=I've got your answer, Levi...}} Other moons are the size of planets, such as [[Basis]] which is nearly twice the size of [[Earth]].{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=http://nikon.bungie.org/misc/sloftus_planetscale|Site=halo.bungie.org|Page=Halo-verse Planetary Scale}}


There are a number of planets that have extensive systems of moons, like [[Threshold]] and its 12 satellites,{{Ref/Reuse|threshold}} or [[Vitalyevna]] and its 27 moons.{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/locations?page=2|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Universe - Locations - Page 2}}
