Why do planets and satellites orbit the sun?

Planets and satellites orbit the sun due to the gravitational pull of the sun. This gravitational force keeps them in their respective orbits as they move through space. The balance between the inertia of the planets/satellites and the gravitational force of the sun results in stable orbits.


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 does the US protect its satellites?

The US protects its satellites through a combination of tactics, including encryption to secure communication signals, maneuvering satellites to avoid collisions with space debris, and monitoring for potential threats from other countries or entities.

How many satellites are needed to provide a place on earth?

If the question is regarding finding the latidude and longitude of one point on the earth, the answer is a minimum of three satellites. The method used is called triangulation. If you wish to know the altitude of the point, a minimum of four satellites are needed.
