Artificial or natural; they're falling.
One definition of flying is to throw yourself at the ground and miss.
All these objects are doing just that. (including the Earth in its path around the sun)
As an example:
you know that the Earth is curved. You fall towards it due to gravity.
If you move fast enough (to orbit) then you have to move fast enough so that the surface of the planet falls away AS FAST AS you are falling due to its gravity.

How did the United States become involved with space?
The U.S. got involved in rockets and space exploration after the Germans used the V-1 and V-2 rockets during world war 2. The U.S. c aptured the German scienctist that built the rockets. Werner Von Brun was a big part of the Apollo moon missions. read up on Robert Goddard also. Rockets were, are also putting spy satelites in orbit, and GPS Global postioning satelites, in orbit. Commerical radio and Television saterlites are also a driving force in "space" science. See also "why Apollo 11 went to the moon" asked in wikianswers.
Do the stars orbit the planets or do planets orbit stars?
Moons orbit planets. Planets orbit stars. Some stars orbit other stars, or orbit their mutual center of gravity. Stars orbit the center of the galaxy. Galaxies may orbit the center of the "galactic group".
The path earth travels around the sun is called?
it is called and orbit, its elliptical (its like a streached out circle)
Which planet has the smallest orbit and the largest orbit?
The plane with the smallest orbit is Mercury, and the planet with the largest orbit is Neptune.
What is exact definition of orbit?
the exact definition of orbit is to revolve around, or move in an orbit
Are asteroids bigger than saterlites?
Yes, Definately bigger than most satellites.

Does Pluto's orbit overlaps the orbit of the asteroid Ceres?
Pluto's orbit DOES NOT overlap the orbit of the asteroid Ceres. But it does overlap the orbit of the planet neptune
Part of Pluto's orbit is inside the orbit of?
Pluto's unusual orbit causes it to travel inside Neptune's orbit.
The path an object takes around another object is called an?
This is an orbit.
Do the stars orbit the planets or do planets orbit stars?
Moons orbit planets. Planets orbit stars. Some stars orbit other stars, or orbit their mutual center of gravity. Stars orbit the center of the galaxy. Galaxies may orbit the center of the "galactic group".

Is Orbit Send With Satellite?
The orbit helps the satellite go into orbit.
Does Neptune Orbit?
Yes, Neptune Does Orbit. Yes, Neptune Does Orbit.
What is the polar orbit used for and why?
a polar orbit is not a type of geosyhchronous orbit.
What is the path of one object circling another?
orbit orbit orbit
Which planet has the smallest orbit and the largest orbit?
The plane with the smallest orbit is Mercury, and the planet with the largest orbit is Neptune.
