Satellites get up in to space by being launched in a rocket. Once at the altitude necessary for their mission, they separate from the rocket and then orbit the earth.
Different kinds of satellites orbit at different heights above the earth. Weather satellites, GPS satellites, and communications satellites all perform different tasks.

What satelites or robots have explored earth?
none
What is the use of satelites?
We use them to takes pictures of the earth and see how we are disusing at and how we can improve it.
What things in space reflect light?
satelites, the moon, junk from earth etc.
What is a natural satelite?
Technically, the moon (Luna) is the only "natural" satellite of the Earth (Terra). That is because it is the only one that was not put into orbit deliberately by sentient beings. If asteroids are retrieved from the asteroid belt and sent into orbit around the Earth (as is currently being planned by NASA), they would still not be considered "natural" sattelites. Only if a meteor is captured by the Earth's gravitational force and goes into a stable orbit (most unlikely) without having had its normal orbit altered, would it be considered "natural".
Does the moon orbit Earth or does the Earth orbit the moon?
The moon orbits Earth.
How far away are satelites from earth?
The satelites are 34987.97675 miles from earth..
Do planets or stars orbit Venus'?
No. Venus is a planet (in orbit around the Sun) with no natural satelites.
What planet has 3 satellites sharing the same orbit?
saturn has have 3 satelites
What does geostationary satelites do?
it carries wind into the earth.
What satelites or robots have explored earth?
none
How many satelites orbit Saturn?
Satellites ~ 200 observed (61 with secure orbits)
Will sirius satellite radio work in nigeria?
no. The satelites only orbit the continental u.u
HOW many satelites does the moon have?
The moon has no known satellites. Anything in orbit around it would be in a fairly unstable orbit, and would not remain there.
What does sun orbit around?
The sun, does not orbit anything. Because it is the center of the universe, based off of the heliocentric model. Planets, and satelites(moons) do orbit the sun though.
Where are the space satellites located in space?
space satelites are send into space with the help of rocket and other devices and then are set into orbit slowly and slowly and with time it acquire centripetal force and rotate around earth.
What are some freely falling objects?
The moon, Earth's artificial satelites, etc.
What is the use of satelites?
We use them to takes pictures of the earth and see how we are disusing at and how we can improve it.
