What are the different artificial satellites launched into orbit?
The different artificial satellites launched are Low Earth Orbiting Satellites for Remote sensing, Medium Earth Orbiting Satellites like GPS , Geo Stationary Orbiting Satellites for Communication and Molnia Satellites again for Communication. These are the different artificial Satellite orbiting the Planet Earth.
How many of the orbiting satellites are US satellites?
90000
Does callisto have satellites orbiting it?

Why does Neptune have 13 satellites even though it is not orbited by human made objects?
Well, call me a scientist, satellites are sometimes known as ANYTHING that can orbit a rock, star or planet. So, Neptune does have eleven (or more, who knows) moons. Satellites are usually known as the man-made space telescopes, but they can be anything that orbits. Here, let me explain: Planets: Mercury, Earth, Venus... (you know) Stars: The sun Satellites: The moon, Hubble telescope, and other of Earths satellites
Is there gravity where satellites are at?
Yes there are enough gravitational forces to keep the satellites orbiting earth.
Why can't we see satellites orbiting?
You can see satellites orbiting. If you go on a clear night to somewhere which is far from city lights, you will sometimes see dots moving across the sky - these are satellites reflecting sunlight.
Which layer of the atmosphere contains orbiting satellites?
thermosphere?
