It will most likely burn up through the earths atmosphere on re-entry. The satellites travel at very high speeds, and are not designed to withstand the brunt of the earths atmosphere at the speeds at which they orbit the earth. You might get some bits left over, but these should be quite small. Operators try to land the satellite in the sea once it has reached the end of its life.
What else can I help you with?
The weight of an astronauts in an artificial satellite revolving around the earth is?

What describes a satellite which orbits a planet revolving around the sun?
A satellite is an object which orbits a larger body. For example, the Moon orbits the Earth, and the Earth orbits the Sun. The Moon is a satellite of the Earth and the Earth is a Satellite of the Sun.
How can a GPS tell you where to go?
It uses a signal from a satellite that is revolving around the Earth right now.
Why do the satellites not fall while revolving around the earth?
. The speed of the satellite is adjusted so that it falls to earth at the same rate that the curve of the earth falls away from the satellite. The satellite is perpetually falling, but it never hits the ground!
What is the path of the satellite after its launching?
it is the foot print of the Satellite on the earth while it revolving in the orbit.
What object revolves around a planet while the planets revolve around the sun?
A satellite revolves around a planet while it is revolving around around the sun (star). For example, moon (earth's natural satellite) revolves around earth while earth is revolving around the sun.
Does earth's gravity do any work on satellite revolving around it?
NO. The gravity of Earth, in conjunction with the inertia of the satellite, keeps the satellite revolving around Earth. However, the satellite doesn't get any nearer to the Earth. So, according to the laws of physics, no work is done. (I'm ignoring the fact that satellites sometimes lose height and need to be "boosted" a bit to maintain their orbits. Also, I'm assuming that the satellite's orbit is circular. If the orbit is elliptical the answer is more or less the same, but a bit more complicated.)
What does a satellite do when its in geostationary orbit?
it's hot. ;)
Does earth have one temporary and one permanent moon?
A satellite is a heavenly body/object revolving earth. Earth has one permanent 'satellite' i.e. moon. Every satellite launched by man is a temporary satellite.
Why this satellite keeps on revolving around earth?
Which satellite are you referring to ? Satellites stay in orbit because the force trying to 'throw them out into space' is counter-balanced by the gravitational pull of the earth. Those that are revolving round the planet (as opposed to geostationary ones) do so, because they were set in a side-ways motion when they were launched.
What is a satellite that orbits earth?
If by satellite you mean an object that orbits the earth, then the Moon is a satellite of the earth. There are thousands of other satellites put into orbit by both private and public organizations used for everything from GPS to communication and even you TV service.
Why do you call the moon Earths natural satellite?
Because the moon naturally revolves around the Earth and things that revolve around each other are called satellites (ex. the planets revolving around the sun) so therefore the name "Natural Satellite".
