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 else can I help you with?
Where are satelites?
Satellites are located in various orbits around the Earth, such as low Earth orbit (LEO), medium Earth orbit (MEO), and geostationary orbit (GEO). The specific location of a satellite depends on its intended purpose, whether for communication, weather monitoring, navigation, or other functions.
Does the moon orbit Earth or does the Earth orbit the moon?
The moon orbits Earth.
What is it called when the moon moves around the earth?
This is called its orbit. Strictly, the moon and the earth both orbit their common centre of mass. The path of the moon around Earth is elliptical orbit. It takes about 29 days to complete one orbit of earth by moon.
The path earth travels around the sun is called?
The path Earth travels around the sun is called an orbit. This orbit is elliptical in shape, meaning it is not a perfect circle but is slightly elongated. Earth takes 365.25 days to complete one orbit around the sun.
What do you call the path on which the Earth moves around the sun?
The name of the path the earth takes around the sun is known as the orbit. The earth takes slightly over 365 to complete its revolution round the sun.
How far away are satelites from earth?
Satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) are typically around 160-2,000 kilometers away from the Earth's surface. Geostationary satellites, on the other hand, orbit at an altitude of about 35,786 kilometers above the equator.
Where are satelites?

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.
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.
What are some freely falling objects?
The moon, Earth's artificial satelites, etc.
Does a satleite circle the Earth or does Earth circle a satleite?
A satelite circles earth. A satelite includes the moon, or man made satelites
When was Prolab first put into orbit?
The worlds' first artificial satelite was put in orbit by Soviet Union in 1957, named Sputnik 1. Since then thousands of prolab satelites were put in orbit by several countries around the globe.
