Gravity wants to pull the satellite back to Earth - the speed the satellite travels around the Earth wants to fling it out into space. The two forces cancel each other out, and so the satellite remains in orbit - pulled in opposite directions with equal force.
In 2005 a satellite went into orbit around Venus.
A Geostationary orbit - it means that the satellite will always stay above the same point on Earth. Hope that helps
orbit
The mass of a satellite does not affect its orbit. The orbit of a satellite is determined by its speed and the gravitational pull of the object it is orbiting around, such as a planet. The mass of the satellite itself does not play a significant role in determining its orbit.
The mass in orbit around another mass is referred to as a satellite. This can be a natural satellite, like a moon, or an artificial satellite, like a spacecraft. The gravitational pull of the larger mass keeps the satellite in orbit, balancing the gravitational force with the satellite's velocity. The specific characteristics of the orbit, such as its shape and altitude, depend on the masses involved and the initial conditions of the satellite's motion.
A satellite's orbit is just the path it follows around the Earth or some other planet.Satellites' orbits can be elliptical or circular.
A body in orbit around a planet is called a satellite.
no, the moon is the Earths natural satellite, the moon is in orbit around the Earth. The whole Earth/Moon system is then in orbit around the sun.
Yes.

Gravity
A satellite can move around the Earth in a circular orbit at a constant height due to the balance between gravitational force and its centripetal force. The gravitational pull of the Earth provides the necessary force to keep the satellite in orbit, while the satellite's velocity ensures it moves forward, creating a continuous circular path. This balance allows the satellite to maintain a stable altitude without falling to Earth or drifting away into space.
