Gravity is a characteristic of space. Because of it, every material object encounters a force of attraction
toward every other material object. That leads to some interesting consequences:
-- A satellite is attracted toward the earth.
-- You are attracted toward the earth.
-- The earth is attracted toward a satellite.
-- A satellite is attracted toward you.
-- The earth is attracted toward you.
-- You are attracted toward a satellite.
-- Two satellites are attracted toward each other.
-- You are attracted toward Mars.
-- The sun is attracted toward you.
-- The sun is attracted toward a satellite.
-- The sun is attracted toward my dog.
-- You are attracted toward my dog, and also toward the sun.
-- My dog is attracted toward Pres. Obama's Golf balls.

Yes; gravity keeps them in orbit in the first place.Yes; gravity keeps them in orbit in the first place.Yes; gravity keeps them in orbit in the first place.Yes; gravity keeps them in orbit in the first place.
"Gravity" is the cause of orbital motion. No gravity . . . no orbits, and things just sail away in straight lines. Without gravity, there's no such thing as a satellite of anything.
Gravity. A natural satellite aka asteroid, then meteor, then meteorite all get pulled to Earth through gravity. With artificial sattelites it's tge same thing, gravity. The difference is we launch our satellites to the perfect zone around the planet where they become trapped in orbit around us. Sometimes things occur that bump these satellites out of their orbit and gravity takes over, pulling the satellite back to the surface.
Mars has two known natural satellites, Phobos and Deimos. They are irregularly shaped and thought to be asteroids captured by Mars' gravity.
Satellites of the Earth are held in their orbits by the Earth's gravity. That includes the Moon and all the artificial satellites etc. that are up there.
Yes there are enough gravitational forces to keep the satellites orbiting earth.
Gravity.
No. They orbit Earth; and the reason they orbit is because of gravity.
Gravity and inertia.
Gravity .
No - satellites do not go to the moon. Satellites orbit planets/moons/objects with gravity in space.
purple unicorns
it is a 0 gravitatial spacecraft
no. They are carried in a rocket of some description, then released
Gravity holds satellites in orbit.
yes.
