Are there any humans on Eris?
No. The only place where there are humans is on Earth, or in low Earth orbit.

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.
How do objects orbit earth?
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.
Natural and artificial satellite?
A natural satellite is something that is in orbit of another thing that was placed their by natural means; in other words accidentally. An artificial satellite is something that is in orbit of another thing that was placed their intentionally.

What kind of orbit are observation satellites usually placed in?
You mean Earth observation satellites, and the answer is near-Polar low-Earth orbits. This means that as the satellite orbits from above one pole to the other, the Earth turns beneath it, and the satellite passes over the Equator, and every other point on its orbit, at a different place on each successive orbit. In this way, after enough orbits, it can view the whole Earth. Earth observation satellites are placed in low-Earth orbit because (a) they travel faster over the ground at lower altitude and (b) being closer to the ground, their telescopes do not need to be so powerful to achieve a given spatial resolution. Military observation, or spy, satellites, are often placed in a high parking orbit until they are needed, whereupon they are placed into a highly elliptical orbit to allow them to come very close to Earth (and hence see it with great detail) over the region of interest.
Which country was the first to orbit the Earth?
No country has ever orbited the earth. Scientists and engineers in the USSR placed the first man-made satellite in earth orbit, in 1957.
What two space stations have humans lived on in space?
-- The Mir, placed in orbit by Russia, no longer in existence. -- The International Space Station, placed in orbit and serviced by NASA shuttle missions, manned by astronauts from several nations in turn.
