-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''. Moons vary widely in size, surface features, or atmosphere. Some natural satellites were only [[asteroid]]s captured by a planet's orbit, such as [[Reach]]'s smaller moon [[Turul]].<ref name="moonsinfo">[http://carnage.bungie.org/haloforum/halo.forum.pl?read=1045222 '''halo.bungie.org''': ''I've got your answer, Levi...'']</ref> Other moons are the size of planets, such as [[Basis]] which is nearly twice the size of [[Earth]].<ref>[http://nikon.bungie.org/misc/sloftus_planetscale '''halo.bungie.org''': ''Halo-verse Planetary Scale'']</ref>

-The large gas giants of the [[Sol system]] 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.

-==Notable moons==
+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}}
