The velocity of the satellite along with the earths gravitational pull work together to keep a satellite from either flying out into space or burning up in the atmosphere. They have to launch a satellite at a precise speed to make sure that the speed at which the satellite falls to earth matches the earth's curvature. The speed is 8000 meters a second.

What force keeps a satelite in orbit?
Gravity
What keeps earth in its orbit?
The sun's gravitational pull keeps the earth in orbit around it.
What keeps it in orbit around earth?
earth's gravity
Why can the moon not escape from the earth?
The earth is six times more massive than the moon. That keeps the moon in orbit around it, just as the mass of the sun keeps the earth in orbit around it.
Which of the following forces exerted by the earth on the moon keeps the moon in orbit?
The force that keeps the moon in orbit around the Earth is gravity. Specifically, the gravitational pull between the Earth and the moon is what keeps the moon in its elliptical orbit.
What is the force that keeps the earth in its orbit around the sun?
Gravity.
What keeps the earth in orbit with the sun?
Gravity and Inertia keeps the earth in orbit
What holds earth in it's path as it revolves around the sun?
The mutual attractive force of gravity keeps the Earth in its orbit around the Sun.
How does gravity influence the Earth's orbit around the sun?
Gravity is the force that keeps the Earth in orbit around the sun. The sun's gravity pulls the Earth towards it, causing the Earth to move in a curved path around the sun. This gravitational force is what keeps the Earth in its stable orbit and prevents it from flying off into space.
What keeps the moon in its orbit around the moon?
The balance between the inertia of the Moon and the gravitational pull keeps the moon in orbit with Earth.

What are the essential condition the for geostationay satellite?
Because of the inverse square law of gravity, an object close to the Earth's surface feels a greater pull than an object further away. This would mean an artificial satelite in an orbit near Earth would have to travel faster to remain in orbit. One further away would travel slower. Close to the earth, a satelite might complete an orbit in, for example, 90 minutes; but the earth rotates once on its axis in 24 hours. This would mean the satelite would always have to travel faster than the Earth spins. Too far away, and the satelite would take longer than a day to orbit the Earth - so the planet would spin faster than the satelite's orbit. For a geostationary satelite, it would need to be at just the right distance, in an orbit that keeps it at the same place as seen from the rotating Earth - orbiting as fast as the Earth is spinning. Geostationary satelites get parked a little over 22,200 miles above the Earth's surface and in orbits the same direction as the Earth spins - and are thus useful for communication and weather functions.
