Both have masses; therefore they attract one another.

∙ 9y agoI haven't seen the pre-launch engineering data on the satellite, but I'm guessing
that it's affected by Earth's gravity because it has some mass in it. And if you
think about it, that works out to be lucky, becuase if it didn't have mass, then
it could never stay in an orbit.

Is it correct to say that satellites fall back to earth falling to earth because they are beyond the pull of earths gravity explain?
That is not English; that is not physics. Generally speaking, the speed of the satellite and gravity cancel each other. As the satellite slows (friction), gravity wins.
When in orbit a satellite such as the space shuttle is either a projectile or a non-accelerated motion or free from earths gravity or an ellipse?
free from the motion of earth
What is Names for earths satellite?
The Earth's only satellite is the Moon.
How does gravity affect a satellite launch?
İf gravity is high, satellite will be very small due to lifting forces for satellite,otherw mise satellite wll vey big.
How does the Suns gravity compared to earths gravity?
The sun gravity is stronger
Is a moon a place or a thing?
nither it is a natural satellite held in orbit by the earths gravity. Without it we would have no tides.

What is a common model for Einstein's theory of gravity?
Whatever goes up and remains within the influence of earths gravity must come down, or circle the earth as a satellite.
Does a satellite orbit earth free from earths gravity?
No. Gravity is responsible for all 'orbits'. If there were no other body attracting it, the orbiting object would sail off in a straight line.

free from the motion of earth
Which planets surface gravity is 38 percent that of earths?
Both mercury and mars have a gravity which is around 38% of earths. Mercury's gravity is 37.8% of earths, Mars' gravity is 37.7% of earths.
Why is earths gravity stronger than an apples?
Gravity is affected by the mass of an object, The greater the mass, the greater the gravity. Apples have gravity, but because they have such a small mass the gravity is tiny, whereas Earth has a huge mass which in turn means that it has a huge and noticeable gravity.
What is Names for earths satellite?

its gravity
