lunar

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'satellite's' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are adjectives, I cannot understand how they can define each other.

'learner a run around' is the wordplay.
'learner' becomes 'l' (as in a learner driver with L-plates on their car).
'around' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'run'='arun'
'arun' with letters rearranged gives 'unar'.
'l'+'unar'='LUNAR'

'giving' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
