Gravity. A natural satellite aka asteroid, then meteor, then meteorite all get pulled to Earth through gravity. With artificial sattelites it's tge same thing, gravity. The difference is we launch our satellites to the perfect zone around the planet where they become trapped in orbit around us. Sometimes things occur that bump these satellites out of their orbit and gravity takes over, pulling the satellite back to the surface.
What else can I help you with?
Why doesn't gravity pull the artificial satellites to Earth?
Gravity pulls the satellites but the orbiting satellites don't fall down towards earth because the speed with which they move balances the gravitational force i.e. Centripetal force = Gravitational force.
Do satellites have a net force acting on them parallel to the earth?
yes
What force allows satellites to orbit the earth?
Gravity is the force that allows satellites to orbit the Earth. The gravitational pull between the Earth and the satellite causes the satellite to continuously fall towards the Earth while moving forward at a speed that keeps it in orbit.
What are the uses of gravitational force?
Gravitation force makes the Earth move around the sun and also makes the moon go around the Earth. Our weight is the gravitational force of the Earth acting on us. For example; the gravitational force of the moon is about one-sixth that of the Earth.
What term refers to the force by which all bodies are attracted to the earth?
normal force
Why doesn't gravity pull the artificial satellites to Earth?
Gravity pulls the satellites but the orbiting satellites don't fall down towards earth because the speed with which they move balances the gravitational force i.e. Centripetal force = Gravitational force.
How do artificial satellites stay in space?
They orbit the Earth because they experience a centripetal force due to the gravitational attraction between them and the Earth. Do you need more detail?
Do satellites have a net force acting on them parallel to the earth?
yes
What orbit the planets?
The orbit of each planet it the path it takes as it rotates round the Sun under the influence of the force of gravity. Every planet has a separate orbit and the orbits all follow Kepler's three laws of planetary motion.
What force allows satellites to orbit the earth?
Gravity is the force that allows satellites to orbit the Earth. The gravitational pull between the Earth and the satellite causes the satellite to continuously fall towards the Earth while moving forward at a speed that keeps it in orbit.
How do you define a natural satellite?
A "natural satellite" is a body in space that revolves around (orbits) another body. Technically the planets are all satellites of the Sun, but the term is usually applied to the moons, moonlets, and other bodies circling a planet.The usage is required to differentiate moons, which were always satellites, from man-made or artificial satellites which were increasingly referenced as merely "satellites".Something not sent into space by humans, (eg not a sputnik, space station or rubbish). The moon, or even a captured asteroid, would be "natural"
What are the uses of gravitational force?

How are satellities put in orbit?
They are just left a certain distance from earth and Satellites revolve around earth due to Gravitational force
Two satellites orbiting the Earth pass close by each other each day Which of these best explains why the gravitational force between the satellites would increase as the satellites moved toward each?
The gravitational force between objects increases as the distance between objects decreases.
What is the force that makes satellites orbit at the same height around the earth?
Gravity keeps satellites in orbit. The closer you are to the Earth, the faster you have to go to maintain your orbit. At low Earth orbit, the altitude of the Space Station, you make an orbit every 90 minutes. At the Moon's distance you need over 27 days to go around the Earth. In-between there is an altitude which matches the rate of the Earth's rotation. Many satellites orbit at this altitude.
A man throws a ball 10 feet in the air It stops in mid air and comes back down How?
Well its called "Gravity". Gravitation. The force that causes objects to drop and water to run downhill is the same force that holds the Earth, the Sun, and the stars together and keeps the Moon and artificial satellites in their orbits. Gravitation, the attraction of all matter for all other matter, is both the most familiar of the natural forces and least understood.
