No. It's the mutual gravitational force between it and the earth that keeps a satellite

in a closed orbit, instead of flying off away from earth in a straight line.

Technically, there's no such thing as "outside of" the gravitational force of anything.

We can calculate the gravitational force between a star in a distant galaxy and the earth.

In fact, we can calculate the gravitational force between a star in a distant galaxy and you.

The force is pretty small, but it's there.

The gravitational pull on all the planets are artificial satellites because the satellites orbit all the planets!


What are two examples that illustrate Earths gravitational pull?

every object has a gravitational pull on every other object.however,only large objects have a gravitional pull you can feel.Earths gravity pulls objects toward the center.Apples fall down because of Earths gravity.Gravity also keeps satellites in orbit around earth.

Does the earth have more then one moon?

It does have several quasi-satellites, such as 2006 RH120, 2002 AA29 and 3753 Cruithne. In addition, Earth did have a second satellite from 2006-2007, but it escaped Earths gravitational pull and left.


Why do the earth's satellites in orbit high above our atmosphere do not need to burn fuel to keep them in motion?

the earths gravitational pull keeps them in rotation with the earth along with centrifugal force also newtons law applies- an object will stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force


What happens when you get out of Earths gravitational pull?

When you reach beyond Earth's gravitational pull, you enter outer space. Objects in space continue to be influenced by the gravitational forces of other celestial bodies such as the sun, planets, and stars. Becoming free from Earth's gravitational pull allows spacecraft to travel to other planets and explore the universe.


Do the Earth and the Moon have the same gravitational pull?

No. Earths in much more powerful.
