Which of the following statements about the motion of planetary satellites is true? a. planetary satellites can orbit their planet in the same direction as the planet's rotation, or in the opposite direction. b. some planetary satellites have been known to orbit around other satellites. c. planetary satellites never orbit their planet in the opposite direction of their planet's rotation. d. planetary satellites always orbit their planet in the opposite direction of their planet's rotation.

Explanation:

Actually, the direction of the satellite can variate, they can orbit with the same rotation of the planet, and they can orbit in the opposite direction.

However, the majority of satellites orbit in the same direction as their planets.

In addition, remember that a satellite refers to a small body that orbits around a planet, like the Moon, which is Earth's satellite. This small body orbits around a planet due to the force of gravity exerted by the planet, because the more mass, more force of attraction.
