The basic idea is for satellites to orbit OUTSIDE the atmosphere, to avoid losing energy through friction. In practice, there is still a small amount of air, even at the altitude at which they commonly orbit - typically around 200 km or so.

Which layer of the atmosphere can rockets orbit?
To have a more or less stable orbit, the rocket will have to orbit OUTSIDE of the atmosphere.
How are satellites held in orbit around Earth?
the atmosphere of gravity pulls it.
Which satellite is known for its atmosphere and what planet does it orbit?
Titan orbits Saturn
Where are the space satellites located in space?
space satelites are send into space with the help of rocket and other devices and then are set into orbit slowly and slowly and with time it acquire centripetal force and rotate around earth.
What is a definition for orbit and atmosphere?
Definition for : ORBIT : A fixed path on which a planet moves around a star. ATMOSPHERE : A layer of air (composed of different gases e.g. oxygen, nitrogen etc. ) surrounding the Earth.

Will sirius satellite radio work in nigeria?
no. The satelites only orbit the continental u.u

What orbit is still in the outermost part of earth's atmosphere?
A low Earth orbit is an orbit still in the outermost part of Earth's atmosphere. This kind of orbit occurs a few hundred kilometers into the atmosphere.
When was Prolab first put into orbit?
The worlds' first artificial satelite was put in orbit by Soviet Union in 1957, named Sputnik 1. Since then thousands of prolab satelites were put in orbit by several countries around the globe.
How do you defeat the transformers decepticons level blackout at qatar?
I beat the level by hiding behind the satelites. The bullets fired at me would destroy the satelites. On the scanning level get on top of the building it wants you to scan and scan it quickly. Do not shoot at the enemy on this whole level. I followed these directions and beat the level myself. Good Luck! Your going to need it.
How was the ozone hole discovered?
satelites. really detailed satelites
Why does satellites orbit Earth at least 150 km above the surface?
The altitude of (manmade) satelites assures minimal signal interference when sending/recieving transmission. It also gives the device a "birds eye view", necessary for optimal data collection and transmission. note: a satelite can be defined as anything with an orbit around another mass.
