Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?
Satélites is masculine because it derives from Latin "satelles" (attendant or bodyguard), which was a masculine noun, and Spanish maintained this grammatical gender when adopting the word in the 16th century. The metaphorical sense of a celestial body orbiting a larger one preserved the original masculine gender from its Latin root.
