What else can I help you with?
Are satellites orbiting earths gravity?
No. They orbit Earth; and the reason they orbit is because of gravity.
How is a satellite maintained in orbit around earth?
gravity
How is a satellite kept in orbit around the earth?
Gravity
Does earth stay in orbit by earths gravity?
yes
Is the earth's natural satellite the sun?
no, the moon is the Earths natural satellite, the moon is in orbit around the Earth. The whole Earth/Moon system is then in orbit around the sun.
What is the force which keeps the satellite in orbit round the earth?
gravity
How does a satellite orbit earth?
Same way Luna (the moon) orbits Earth; gravity.
Is tis correct the force of gravity keeps Earth in its orbit or is it friction not gravity?
Friction has 100% nothing to do this the Earths orbit, its gravity and inertia.
How does gravity affect a satellite launch?
Gravity affects a satellite launch by pulling the satellite towards the Earth during its initial phase of ascent. This requires the rocket to generate enough thrust to overcome gravity in order to reach the desired orbit. Once the satellite is in orbit, gravity continues to affect its trajectory, helping to keep it in orbit around the Earth.
How does Earth has gravity?
the earths gravitational pull keeps the moon in orbit
What is a satellite and why is the moon referred to as the earths satellite?
satellites are things that orbit other things in space, for example the moon orbits the earth and is therefore the earth's satellite
How do satellites move in orbit?
Satellite orbit the Earth at different altitudes. A good overview of Low Earth Orbit, Medium Earth Orbit and Geostationary Orbit can be found here: http://www.idirect.net/Company/Satellite-Basics/How-Satellite-Works.aspx
