my theory is tht the friction between the earth and sun is equal and thus earth has a single orbit which does not change , instead the planet rotates around itself and revolves around the sun, not because of their equal friction but because of its mass being less compared to the sun.

How many times will the earth orbit around the sun?

The earth will keep revolving around the sun until the sun dies out or earth is hit by a really big asteroid and knocks it out if its orbit.


Why doesn't a satellite in orbit around earth slow down?

Artificial satellites are outside of the atmosphere, and therefore do not experience any friction with it. They are in the vacuum of space, where nothing will slow them down by friction. Since they have enough velocity to keep from dropping below the atmosphere of Earth, they are in a stable orbit, the same way the Moon is. However, they do not move at perfectly uniform speed. Like all satellites of all bodies, they move more speedily when they are closer to earth and less speedily when they are farther away from Earth. Their orbits can be corrected by changing their orbital velocity, but it is nearly impossible to get a perfectly circular orbit. Being in a close to circular orbit, they remain nearly uniform in velocity.
