A moon is a smaller planet, which instead of circling around the sun, circles around a larger planet. It must have the usual characteristics of a planet – naturally formed, of natural materials.
But a satellite can be any type of thing, which circles around a larger thing. The word is even used metaphorically to describe small towns which grow up around the energy of larger towns – or people who constantly try to be close to more popular, more powerful people.

@isthmus_x actually moon is not a planet because it does not orbit the sun so you can say that it is an object in the sky. also satellite is a telescope kind of thing that is located in space or right here, on earth. what you mean though, you are correct.
