Why don't satellites get pulled towards the Earth's surface?
Because of the gravity that Earth has with the moon; Satellites are out of the gravity pull that surrounds Earth, therefore, they are not sucked in.
What is gravity's effect on the universe?
It keeps the planets orbiting the sun The moon's gravitational pull on Earth causes tides on Earth, And satellites
What layer of the atmosphere do GPS satellites orbit in?
SatellitesSatellites orbit in outer space, not in the earth. They are sent to outer space where the gravitational pull of the earth pulls them around, just as the earth is pulled around the sun in a similar manner. The layer is the exosphere. It greatly depends on what the satellite is for and who owns it how far up it orbits. Imaging satellites need to be close to the Earth, so they orbit about 130 miles up. Communications satellites are generally at 23,000 miles up. GPS satellites are up about 13,000 miles.
What are the different artificial satellites launched into orbit?
The different artificial satellites launched are Low Earth Orbiting Satellites for Remote sensing, Medium Earth Orbiting Satellites like GPS , Geo Stationary Orbiting Satellites for Communication and Molnia Satellites again for Communication. These are the different artificial Satellite orbiting the Planet Earth.
Where are the satellites?
satellites are located 37,000 km above the earth's equator.
Are satellites in high earth orbit pulled to earth by gravity?
yes.

What are the artificial satellites of the Earth?
All the satellites, communications, exploratory, military etc. are artificial satellites of Earth.

What is differences between space satellite and earth satellite?
space satellites are in space and earth satellites are in earth.
Does the earth have two satellites or Mars?
Mars has two natural satellites. Earth has one.
Where do communications satellites orbit?
Communication satellites orbit around the Earth.Communication satellites orbit around the Earth.Communication satellites orbit around the Earth.Communication satellites orbit around the Earth.
What causes the water on the opposite of earth to rise up during a hide tide?
The water on the side of the earth opposite the sun/moon also rises during high tide because not only is the water pulled by the moon and sun's gravity, but the earth itself is also pulled. This causes there to be a bulge of water on the oppposite side of the earth as well.
What are natural and artificial satellites?
Natural satellites are organic objects that orbit the earth such as the moon. Artificial satellites are objects humans propel through the earth's atmosphere in order to orbit the earth such as satellites for TV and radio signals.
Which source of gravity is maintaining all four satellites around the earth?
Satellites of the Earth are held in their orbits by the Earth's gravity. That includes the Moon and all the artificial satellites etc. that are up there.
Why would you classify the moon and the earth as satellites?
Why would you classify the moon and earth as satellites?
