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 to move in an orbit of something?
A satellite
Something in orbit around a planet?
An artificial satellite or a moon (a natural satellite)
Which planet does the satellite Atlas orbit?
The Satellite Atlas orbits the planet Saturn.
Natural and artificial satellite?
A natural satellite is something that is in orbit of another thing that was placed their by natural means; in other words accidentally. An artificial satellite is something that is in orbit of another thing that was placed their intentionally.
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.
How does the centripetal force act on a satellite?
Centripetal force makes a satellite orbit a body.
What is the circular path the shuttle makes in space?
low-orbit (satellite)
Is Orbit Send With Satellite?
The orbit helps the satellite go into orbit.
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.
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 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.
What year did a satellite go into orbit around venus?
In 2005 a satellite went into orbit around Venus.
