Moon : Satellite :: Earth : ________?
Explanation and memory cue
The analogy compares 'Moon' to 'Satellite' as 'Earth' to 'Planet'. The Moon is a natural satellite of Earth, meaning it orbits Earth. Earth itself is a planet, which is a large celestial body orbiting the Sun. The original analogy incorrectly matched Earth to 'Solar System', which is a system containing Earth, not a category or type of Earth. The correct analogy is Moon : Satellite :: Earth : Planet, because the Moon is a type of satellite, and Earth is a type of planet.
