What two forces keep the moon and all other satellites in orbit around earth?
Gravity and inertia are the two forces that keep the moon and other satellites in orbit around Earth. Gravity pulls the moon towards Earth, while the moon's inertia keeps it moving forward in a curved path, resulting in a stable orbit.
What force allows satellites to orbit the earth?
Gravity is the force that allows satellites to orbit the Earth. The gravitational pull between the Earth and the satellite causes the satellite to continuously fall towards the Earth while moving forward at a speed that keeps it in orbit.
What force acts to pull natural and artificial satellites to earth?
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.
Why are the planets considered satellites to the sun?
Planets are not classified as satellites of the Sun. Satellites are objects that orbit planets, while planets orbit the Sun directly. Planets are considered celestial bodies that revolve around a star like the Sun.
How do astronauts and satellites stay in orbit when gravity pulls it down?
Astronauts and satellites stay in orbit because they are moving fast enough horizontally that the force of gravity pulling them towards Earth is balanced by their forward momentum. This creates a state of continuous free fall around the planet, resulting in a stable orbit.
Are satellites orbiting earths gravity?
No. They orbit Earth; and the reason they orbit is because of gravity.
Why do the moons stay in orbit of Jupiter?
Gravity holds satellites in orbit.
What makes satellites stay in orbit?
Gravity and inertia.
What universal force is primarily responsible for keeping satellites in orbit?
The universal force primarily responsible for keeping satellites in orbit is gravity.
How does gravity help satellites orbit earth?
purple unicorns
Are satellites in high earth orbit pulled to earth by gravity?
yes.
How are satellites held in orbit around Earth?
the atmosphere of gravity pulls it.
Are all the spacecrafts that go to moon called satellites?
No - satellites do not go to the moon. Satellites orbit planets/moons/objects with gravity in space.
Are any man made satellites stationary?
Yes.It is called geosynchronous orbit where the satellite speed equals the rotation of earth but is far enough so gravity doesn't effect its orbit immediately.Weather satellites are geosynchronous as are communication, broadcast (DirecTv and Dish, to name a few), spy, scientific.http://www.spacetoday.org/Satellites/SatBytes/SatOrbits.html
Why are the planets called satellites of the sun?
They are natural satellites of the sun. A satellite an object that orbits another object , for a example the moon would be a natural satellite to earth. That is why planets are satellites, they orbit the sun.
How are satellites able to orbit the earth?
Physics. Specifically, it's a combination of inertia and gravity.
What aspects of the gas giants has the biggest effect on their rings and satellites?
The aspect of the gas giants that has the biggest effect on their rings and satellites is their gravity.
