What is an object in orbit around the planets?
A planet in an orbit greater than any of the others.An object in orbit around a single planet is a moon or satellite of that planet.

A satellite is an object in orbit around a planet. Satellites can be natural, like moons, or artificial, like spacecrafts launched by humans for communication, weather monitoring, or scientific research purposes.orbited around a planet.
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.
Which planet does the satellite Atlas orbit?

What keeps a satellite in orbit around a planet?
It is not gravity because there is no gravity in space, only some on certain planets, deffiantly on earth. It is done by the strength from other planets the sun for instance. Heat waves. Some of the gravity in space does help keep the planets and satellites in orbit.
Is the satellite subjected to gravitational pull?
Not at all. The mutual gravitational force that attracts the satellite and the earth toward each other is exactly what keeps the satellite in orbit. Without it, the satellite would just take off in a straight line away from the vicinity of the earth.
