A satellite will orbit due to a gravitational field, which is formed by the gravitational force between the satellite and stellar body. This force is equal to the product of the gravitational constant, and the masses of both objects divided by the square of the distance separating them.

Why does it take 24 hours for a communications satellite to orbit Earth?
They take 24 hours to orbit earth so they will always be in the same place in the sky. This makes it easier for setting up satellite dishes for example, since they have to be pointed toward the satellite.
What is the mass in orbit around another mass?
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.
What is the force that makes satellites orbit at the same height around the earth?
Gravity keeps satellites in orbit. The closer you are to the Earth, the faster you have to go to maintain your orbit. At low Earth orbit, the altitude of the Space Station, you make an orbit every 90 minutes. At the Moon's distance you need over 27 days to go around the Earth. In-between there is an altitude which matches the rate of the Earth's rotation. Many satellites orbit at this altitude.
What is to move in an orbit of something?
A satellite
Which planet does the satellite Atlas orbit?
The Satellite Atlas orbits the planet Saturn.
If satellite A is in a 2.1 resonance with satellite B that means that?
That means that for every 2 orbits that satellite A makes, Satellite B makes 1 orbit.
What is the circular path the shuttle makes in space?
low-orbit (satellite)
How does the centripetal force act on a satellite?
The centripetal force acts towards the center of the circular path followed by the satellite, allowing it to maintain its orbit. In the case of a satellite orbiting Earth, the force of gravity provides the centripetal force required to keep the satellite in its orbit.
Is Orbit Send With Satellite?
The orbit helps the satellite go into orbit.
How does the mass of a satellite affect its 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 circumference of the orbit of a satellite is 260400km the satellite is travelling at 10850km how long does the satellite take to complete one orbit?
24 hours
What is the name of the orbit of the satellite around the earth?
A Geostationary orbit - it means that the satellite will always stay above the same point on Earth. Hope that helps
What is repitivity and revisit of satellite orbit?
The repetitivity and revisit of satellite orbit refers to the time elapsed between observations of the same point on earth by a satellite. It usually depends with the target location, the orbit of the satellite and the swath of the sensor.
Who was first to invented the satellite?
The very first satellite put into orbit was the Russian satellite Sputnik put into orbit on October 4th, 1957.
A satellite in a low earth orbit moving faster than a satellite in a geosynchronous orbit?
YES As height increases, speed of satellite decreases.
What are the satellite planets?
By definition planets orbit a star and satellites orbit a planet. Therefore there are no satellite planets.
What is The plane of a satellite's orbit must intersect?
The plane of a satellite's orbit must include the center of the earth.
