Thousands of satellites are in space that help with weather forecasts and communication. Natural space satellites include the Earth and the moon. Usually satellite refers to machines that were launched into space and orbit the Earth or other body in space.

GPS means Global Positioning System. This system includes 24 satellites that transmit microwave signals, allowing us to determine our location on the planet's surface with amazing accuracy. See link for details.

All satellites orbit, so to say orbital satellite is redundant. However, manmade orbital platforms and devices are called satellites, which provide scientific data, communication, and observation (notably weather).

The term "natural satellite" means a moon of a planet, dwarf planet, or asteroid. Technically, Earth and the other major planets are satellites of the Sun, but the term would be confusing to employ in that sense.

Answer 5

Probably an incorrect spelling of "satellites". A satellite is anything in orbit around a planet - either a moon, or an artificial satellite, placed in orbit for communications, espionage, or some other purpose.
