Yes. They accelerate (change the direction of their movement) towards Earth, and this may be labelled as "falling".

What else can I help you with?
What type of satellite is geostationary operational environment satellite how does it work?
a weather satellite and it rotates around the Earth at the same rate and in the same direction that Earth revolves so it is always fixed over the same location.
What does a satellite do when its in geostationary orbit?
it's hot. ;)
How do you draw a diagram showing the motion of a satellite around earth label the forces acting on the satellite is the satellite accelerating?
You get something to draw with and something to draw on and DRAW
What force keeps satellite in orbit around the Earth?
There is only one main force acting on a satellite when it is in orbit, and that is the gravitational force.
What was Soviet Unions first satellite called in 1957?
Satellite - "Sputnik" was the first satellite launched on Oct 4, 1957.
How is a satellite held in its orbit around earth?
Gravity and velocity vectors in the proper ratio combine to make a state of perpetual falling towards the Earth that always misses
How is the satellite in a space shuttle kept in the correct orbit around the Earth?
Well because of its forward motion. The definition of gravity is an attraction between 2 or more objects. The gravity from Earth is pulling the satellite towards earth or it is falling down. Now it becomes awkward..... The forward motion of the satellite will make itself fall around the Earth or it goes in an orbit.HOPE I HELPED!!!!!
What provides the centripetal force that keeps objects in orbit?
Centripetal force wants to move something towards the centre. So in a satellites case that would be the Gravity of the Earth. If you had a rock tied to a string you were spinning around, the Centripetal Force would be the tension in the string acting towards the centre.
Person sitting in an artificial satellite of the earth have?
A person in an artificial satellite around Earth would experience weightlessness due to the constant freefall towards Earth. They would also see the Earth rotating beneath them, experiencing multiple sunrises and sunsets in a single day. Additionally, they would be shielded from Earth's atmosphere and be able to see the curvature of the planet.
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 name of the orbit of the satellite around the earth?
A Geostationary orbit - it means that the satellite will always stay above the same point on Earth. Hope that helps
Is a satellite always man made?
No a satallite is just something that orbits around an object.
Draw a diagram showing the motion of a satellite around Earth is the satellite accelerating?
WikiAnswers cannot support diagrams - sorry. A satellite around the Earth will have an elliptical or (in some cases) a circular orbit. The satellite is constantly accelerating towards the Earth due to the gravity between the Earth and the satellite. However, because of the satellite's tangential velocity, it stays at a relatively constant distance from the Earth.
What type of satellite is geostationary operational environment satellite how does it work?
a weather satellite and it rotates around the Earth at the same rate and in the same direction that Earth revolves so it is always fixed over the same location.
Why do the satellite not fall while revolving around the earth?
They do fall. But they're traveling fast enough so that the surface of the Earth falls away from them as fast as they are falling. Same thing that keeps the Earth from falling into the sun.
When do you see gravity in action?
Gravity is always in action, pulling objects towards each other. We see gravity in action when we drop something and it falls to the ground, when the planets orbit around the sun, and when we jump and come back down to the Earth.
What keeps all planets in their orbits?
The simple answer is gravity. An apple is dropped and it falls towards the Earth. If you throw it, it travels away from you, but also eventually falls towards the Earth. Throw it harder and it travels further, but also eventually falls towards the Earth. Now throw it hard enough so it travels beyond the horizon, it's always falling slowly towards Earth, but by the time it's dropped a little the ground has moved away from it thanks to the curve of the Earth. So it keeps going and keeps falling. That is what's happening to the moon. It's constantly falling towards us, but won't hit for a very long time. And that is what's happening to the Earth around the Sun. And every other planet around the Sun. And the Sun around our galaxy, the Milky Way. And the Milky Way? It's floating around other galaxies.
