Yes, they are.
Faster than you
Satellites orbit in the thermosphere or exosphere where there is no wind and drag is negligible.
Satellites stay up in space due to how fast they are traveling. If an object is in motion around a planet at the correct speed it will orbit it without crashing towards the planet.
Yes, satellites move quickly across the sky, traveling at speeds of thousands of kilometers per hour in orbit around the Earth. This rapid movement is necessary to maintain their orbits and stay in communication with ground stations.
There are thousands of satellites; most of them change their position rather fast.There are thousands of satellites; most of them change their position rather fast.There are thousands of satellites; most of them change their position rather fast.There are thousands of satellites; most of them change their position rather fast.
Whenever there off for a moment jump and get off to another one as fast as you can. Repeat
Satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) must travel fast to continue orbiting the Earth without falling back down due to gravity. The high speed helps to balance the force of gravity to keep the satellite in orbit. Additionally, the fast speed allows the satellite to complete its orbit around the Earth in a relatively short amount of time.
satellites are not weightless. they actually aren't even floating in space. satellites are constantly falling towards the earth but because of their crazy fast speed they constantly miss the edge of the earth and can continue falling. pretty wild stuff gravity is.

The five major types of artificial satellites are: research, communications, weather, navigational, and applications. Please see the related links.
There are no known satellites of Mercury.
Mercury has no satellites.
