Question

A satellite is an object that orbits a larger object. The moon is the Earth's

satellite and the fifth largest satellite in the solar system, Mars has two
small satellites or moons, named Phobos and Deimos. Jupiter has more
than 60 moons, the largest being lo, Europa and Ganymede. Io is the most
volcanically active body in the solar system; Europa is believed to be
covered by an icy ocean; and Ganymede is the largest satellite in the solar
system, larger even than the planet Mercury.
Since our moon orbits the Earth, it also receives light from the sun, which
is why it looks lit up to us. But the moon rotates much slower than the
Earth does-just one rotation per revolution around the Earth. Therefore,
the same side of the moon faces the Earth all the time, we only see one half
of it at any given moment.
The moon tugs on the Earth. Its gravity is not enough to affect the land or
the people, but it does cause the oceans to rise and fall a few feet twice each
day. We call this rise and fall high and low tide.
Which of these is not a satellite?
A
B
с
D
the International Space Station that orbits the Earth
Pluto's moon Charon
the sun at the center of the solar system
the Earth as it moves around the sun

Answer 1

C The sun at the center of the solar system.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because, in the above passage, it says "A satellite is an object that orbits a larger object."And the sun is the biggest thing in the solar system, that it can't orbit a larger object than its self. And, atleast it is not a planet. So, this is why the sun is not a satellite.
