* Satellite: A satellite is an object that orbits a larger object in space.

* Planet: A planet is a large celestial body that orbits a star.

While planets do orbit the Sun, they are not considered satellites in the same way that the Moon is a satellite of Earth.

Here's the distinction:

* Moons/Natural Satellites: These objects orbit planets.

* Planets: These objects orbit stars.

So, the correct term for planets in relation to the Sun is planets or solar system planets.
