An object is placed into orbit around the earth by acheiving a velocity of 7,814 meters per second for a low earth orbit. Converted, this equals 17479.42 miles per hour.

In simpler terms, gravity.

What is the orbit time around the earth?

Near the surface of the Earth, the time for an orbit is about one and a half hours. As objects (satellites) get farther, they would take longer for an orbit.Near the surface of the Earth, the time for an orbit is about one and a half hours.

What does The force of gravity that Earth exerts on objects in your solar system cause?

The force of gravity that Earth exerts on objects in our solar system causes those objects to be attracted towards Earth. This force keeps objects like planets, moons, and spacecraft in orbit around Earth and maintains the stability of the solar system.

The moon orbits the Earth due to the gravitational pull between the two objects. This gravitational force keeps the moon in its orbit around the Earth.


Does gravity pull on objects that are in orbit around earth?

Yes. It is gravity that keeps those objects in orbit. Without gravity they would simply move in a straight line.
