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.
Why are satellite antennas curved?
Sattellite antennas are curved because they will get a better signal or the television would be buffering

What are the characteristics of projectile motion?
it follows a curved path
What are the characteristics of a 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 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.
What is the curved path that a planet follows as it revolves around the sun called?
axis
What do you call the path around the earth which a satellite follows?
Its called an orbit.
What do you call the path around the earth which satellite follows?
It's orbit
What is a satellite orbit?
A satellite's orbit is just the path it follows around the Earth or some other planet.Satellites' orbits can be elliptical or circular.
What path does light travel?
It's always straight - as far as the light is concerned. If space is curved then the light follows the curve.
