A Satellite movement behaves in two ways. Its orbit may be defined either as "geosynchronous" or "geostationary". Geosynchronous satellites move together with the Earth's own orbit, so it revolves in the same way as the earth is. Geostationary satellites remain statically in place for a certain coordinate...

Do satellites move fast in the sky?
No they don't move fast in the sky
Why doesn't gravity pull the artificial satellites to Earth?
Gravity pulls the satellites but the orbiting satellites don't fall down towards earth because the speed with which they move balances the gravitational force i.e. Centripetal force = Gravitational force.
Distance from earth to gps satellite?
Navigation satellites move around Earth at an altitude of about 1,243 miles to 22, 223 miles and at about the same speed of rotation. These satellites are in what is called Medium-Earth orbits (MEO).
What are manned satellites?
Satellites that are controled by someone
Which heavenly bodies revolve around a planet?
Satellites, can either be natural satellites (for example; Earth's moon), or man made satellites (for example; communication satellites).
Do satellites move?
ofcourse, they move.
Do satellites move fast in the sky?
No they don't move fast in the sky
What are smaller bodies that move around the planets are called?
They are called satellites
Do satellites move in the same pattern as planets and stars?
Obviously. Since they move in an ellipse around the Earth (or other central body), they change direction all the time. The only way NOT to change direction would be to move in a straight line; satellites don't do that.
How are satellites corrected if they move to far from their original orbits?
send a shuttle to fix it
If satellites move too far from their original orbits how is this correct?
by sending a shuttle and uses a precise dometry to move, and reset it back
Why doesn't gravity pull the artificial satellites to Earth?
Gravity pulls the satellites but the orbiting satellites don't fall down towards earth because the speed with which they move balances the gravitational force i.e. Centripetal force = Gravitational force.
Which is not likely to appear on a map A poles B legend C longitude lines D satellites E cardinal direction?
Satellites. They move, so they cannot be printed on a map. Additionally, "satellites" is the only option that physically exists; the other choices are concepts, not objects.
How can you tell that a star isn't a satellite?
Stars do twinkle--because of their immense distance, only one photon reaches us at a time, and if it is deflected by air currents, we see it blink. Satellites do not twinkle either, because they are even closer. Their brightness will also vary as the satellite changes its aspect to the sun as it orbits the earth. They do not have red and green blinking lights. Satellites do move, quite quickly. Low orbit satellites orbit the earth every 90 minutes to 2 hours, so they will actually cross the sky in minutes. Geosynchronous satellites are about 150 times farther away (23,000 miles) than low-orbit satellites, and typically are not visible to the naked eye at all. Stars, of course, do not move appreciably. In short, if you look up just for tonight: Stars: twinkle and don't move Satellites: don't twinkle and move like gangbusters.

What is the similarity between a natural and artificial satellite?
The difference between an artificial satellite and a natural satellite is on how they are made. Electronic Satellites that are made by man launched into space are Artificical Satellites, while the Moon which is not artificially made are called Natural Satellites.
What are ring satellites?
No, because rings are not satellites, but the moons are satellites.
