What else can I help you with?
The curved path that a satellite follows is called what?
The curved path that a satellite follows is called an orbit. This trajectory is influenced by the gravitational pull of the body it is orbiting, such as a planet or moon. Orbits can be circular or elliptical, depending on the satellite's speed and altitude.
What is the path of a planet or a satellite called?
A satellite is a body in orbit around another lager body. A probe is a machine sent to a specific place or specific course in space. Comment: That doesn't seem to answer the question. The curved path that a satellite follows is either a circle or an ellipse
When a satellite is in orbit. Why does it follow a curved path?
The gravitational pull is causing the satellite to orbit around because the pull is the same all the way around. If it ever managed to leave the gravitational pull, it would just wander pretty aimlessly and even then it would go in a straight line. Hope this helps! Comment: In more "scientific" words : 1. The satellite has a velocity that is along the line of its orbit ( in other words "tangential" to the orbit, at any instant). 2. The planet, that the satellite orbits, is trying to pull the satellite in the direction of the planet. 3. The combination of these things results in the curved path. The satellite is constantly being diverted from its direction at a tangent to the orbit by gravity.
How would you define the word orbit?
An orbit is the curved path followed by an object around a central body in space due to their gravitational interaction. It is the trajectory that an object, such as a planet or satellite, follows as it revolves around another object.
A word that means a path traveled by a planet is?
Orbit. It refers to the curved path that a planet follows as it moves around the sun.
The curved path that a satellite follows is called what?
The curved path that a satellite follows is called an orbit. This trajectory is influenced by the gravitational pull of the body it is orbiting, such as a planet or moon. Orbits can be circular or elliptical, depending on the satellite's speed and altitude.
The path of a satellite orbiting the earth is best described as linear hyperbolic parabolic or elliptical?
Elliptical. The satellite follows a curved path around the Earth known as an elliptical orbit, where it travels at varying distances from the planet.
Why a satellite in a polar orbit traces a curved path over the surface of Earth?
A satellite in a polar orbit traces a curved path over the Earth's surface due to the rotation of the Earth beneath it. As the satellite moves in its orbit from pole to pole, the Earth rotates, causing the satellite's ground track to appear as a series of curved lines. This effect is a result of the Earth's spherical shape and rotation, which means that while the satellite follows a straight line in space, the surface of the Earth is moving underneath it. Consequently, the satellite covers different longitudinal positions as it orbits, creating a curved trajectory relative to the Earth's surface.
What are the characteristics of projectile motion?
it follows a curved path
Why does an object move faster on a straight path than a curved path?
With a curved path you have to slow down to curve as with a straight path you dont have to slow down you can do as fast as you need to go to get threw it.
What is the path of a planet or a satellite called?

What is the path around the earth which a satellite follows?
An ellipse.
What is A curved path that earth follows around the sun called?
Orbit
What does world orbit mean?
A curved path around an object. Refers to the path of a Satellite or the surrounding area of the eye.
When you throw something what do you call its curved path?
The curved path is called projectile motion.
What is the projectile path called?
The path of a projectile is called its trajectory. It is the curved path that an object follows when it is thrown or shot into the air.
What do you call the path around the earth which a satellite follows?
Its called an orbit.
