How does a rocket lift off the ground and what keeps a satellite in orbit?

A rocket can rise into the air because the gases it expels with a downward action force exert an equal but opposite reaction force on the rocket. Satellites in orbit around Earth continuously fall toward Earth, but because Earth is curved they travel around it.

How does a rocket get out of earths orbit?
surely a rocket or artificial satellite can get out with help of escape velocity....
How do you use 'orbit' in a short sentence?
As a noun: The rocket placed the satellite into a high Earth orbit. As a verb: The satellite had to travel very fast to orbit the Earth.
A rocket has been fired upwards to launch a satellite in its orbit .Name the 2 forces action on the rocket after leaving the launching pad?
gravity and frictional force
How much does it cost to send a satellite in to space from earth to space?
The cost varies depending on the size of the satellite, which determines which launch vehicle (rocket) can be used, the orbit the satellite is to put into (polar, low Earth orbit, geosynchronous, etc.) Costs start at about $50 million which does not include the cost of developing and building the satellite.
What is the difference between a space probe and a space satellite and a space rocket and a space shuttle?
Generally, a satellite orbits the Earth, while a space probe is sent to gather information beyond Earth orbit. However, probe can orbit the Earth (and therefore technically be a satellite) or go into orbit around another body (the Moon, Mars, etc.) and therefore also technically become a satellite of that body.
Which vehicle is used to put more satellite to orbit?
satellite launch vehicle ( ROCKET)

How does a weather satellite get into orbit?
It's lifted into space by a big rocket.
What is the force which keeps the satellite in orbit round the earth?
gravity
What is the use of rocket to launch a satellite?
Rockets are used as engines to accelerate the satellite to a speed fast enough to get it in orbit.
What causes stability of satellite in space?
the gravitational force of earth keeps the satellite(better write artificial satellite)in orbit.
What force keeps satellite in orbit around the Earth?
There is only one main force acting on a satellite when it is in orbit, and that is the gravitational force.
What are the two most common ways that a satellite is launched into orbit?
Riding on a rocket and riding in the cargo bay of a space shuttle
What keeps a satellite in orbit around a planet and why?
the forse of gravity keeps it floating in space like the moon orbits our planet
Which force keeps a satellite in orbit?
The mutual gravitational attraction between the satellite's mass and the earth's mass. Short answer: The force of gravity.
