Where is a satellite when it stays at the same point above earths surface?
That's a "geostationary" satellite. It's roughly 22,000 miles above the equator, in a circular orbit.
Does a satellite orbit earth free from earths gravity?
No. Gravity is responsible for all 'orbits'. If there were no other body attracting it, the orbiting object would sail off in a straight line.
Why is it important that a satellite be above Earths atmosphere?
Please remember that close to Earth's surface, a satellite must move at a speed of about 7900 meters/second. If it is inside the Earth's atmosphere, the force of friction will make the satellite lose energy. As a result, it will soon crash to the Earth's surface.
What is Names for earths satellite?
The Earth's only satellite is the Moon.
Why can a satellite be stationary above the earths surface?
It appears stationary because it is moving around the Earth at the same rate that the Earth is rotating about its axis.
