Lol, yes. A satellite is a object that orbits another, the moon is a natural satellite of earth. Now can you think of something the Earth goes around and round?
The sun.

This one doesn't require a genius. The earth is a satellite of the sun, because it travels in an orbit around the sun. The moon is a satellite of the earth because it revolves around the earth.

No genius. The Earth is a planet that orbits around the sun. Planets have satellites, suns have planets. So, no, the earth is not a satellite of any other body in space.

satellite: small object, natural or artificial, that orbits a larger object.
The Earth is a satellite around the sun simply because it orbits around it. The moon is also a satellite of the earth, but that doesn't seem to be what your question is asking.

I'm not a genius and I can answer that YES.
*******************
Changed my mind after reading this the earth can be a satellite of the sun :
**************************
A satellite is any object that orbits another object (which is known as its primary). Satellites can be manmade or may be naturally occurring such as moons, comets, asteroids, planets, stars, and even galaxies. An example of a natural satellite is Earth's Moon.

This sounds like an essay quesiton to me...... is this a homework assignment? Some questions to lead you:
A satellite is an object which orbits or follows another,
Does the earth follow or orbit any object? And is this object in a system of any other larger objects?

Human decide that earth as satellite. It is just a name. I can call thaht my eyeballs as satellite of my brain. So human is so stupid at the moment and you have to follow their opinion.
