How many artificial satellites are in orbit around earth?
yes
The planet with the most satellites?
Earth. Earth has one natural satellite, the moon, which is in orbit around the earth. There are around 3000 man made satellites currently in orbit. Jupiter has the most natural satellites (moons), over 60 have been confirmed. It has no man made satellites in orbit around it, but did have one between 1995 and 2003, an orbiter called Galileo.
How many satellites orbit the US?
Satellites cannot orbit the US; they orbit the Earth, and there are several thousand of them.
Four identical satellites are in orbit around the Earth. Their distance from Earth is given in the table. For which satellite is the gravitational pull of Earth the strongest?
Satellites A (APEX)
What is the difference between moon and satellite?
The word Moon is a name given to the natural satellite in orbit around the Earth. We attribute this name to most objects large enough to see in orbit around other planets. In this way Moons and Natural Satellites are one in the same. Artifical Satellites are what we put into orbit around the earth IE GPS Satellites, but are man made.
Where do communications satellites orbit?
Communication satellites orbit around the Earth.Communication satellites orbit around the Earth.Communication satellites orbit around the Earth.Communication satellites orbit around the Earth.
Do satellites in orbit around Earth continuously fall toward earth?
Satellites orbit the earth for a few years then fall to earth however they are directed to fall to the sea
How many artificial satellites are in orbit around earth?
yes
Does North Korea have 2 satellites in orbit around the earth?
No.
How satellites stay in orbit?
The reason that satellites stay in orbit around Earth is because of two factors. Velocity and the gravitational pull between the satellite and the Earth.

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.
How are satellites held in orbit around Earth?
the atmosphere of gravity pulls it.

Do satellites us on earth orbit anything?
NO! they just are up there floating around they are not large enough to have an orbit.
How many satellites orbit the US?
Satellites cannot orbit the US; they orbit the Earth, and there are several thousand of them.
What are the forces holding in orbit around the sun and the moon in orbit around the earth?
the forces holding every thing toghter is gravity
