Space trash is a collection of old rocket boosters, junk from collisions (such as the collision between the Iridium satellite and the Russian spy satellite that happened about 6 months ago), and stuff dropped from one or another space missions such as the toolbox dropped from the ISS. NASA tracks about 10,000 pieces of "space junk" currently.

The outermost part of Earth's atmosphere is the exosphere, which extends from about 500 km to 10,000 km above the surface. Satellites in geostationary orbit, located at an altitude of about 35,786 km, are still within Earth's exosphere.
The Moon is called a satellite because it orbits around a larger celestial body, in this case, Earth. Planets, on the other hand, are celestial bodies that orbit around a star, like the Sun. Since the Moon orbits around Earth, it is considered a natural satellite rather than a planet.
They go around and around. More artificial satellites proceed from west to east, because it takes less energy (fuel) to launch a satellite into that kind of orbit. But there's no fundamental reason why a satellite can't go in any direction you want. The only requirements are . . . -- The center of the Earth has to be in the plane of the orbit. -- If you expect it to stay up there for a while, then the satellite has to stay outside most of the Earth's atmosphere.
That's kind of a loaded question, because the impact that the answer mayhave on you depends on what you mean by "falling".The answer is "yes", but that doesn't mean that you should imagine theEarth getting pulled down into some kind of sinister hole from which it cannever climb out."Falling" just means moving freely, without interference, under the influenceof gravity. When a bean rolls off the table, it moves freely toward the centerof the Earth under the influence of gravity, and falls to the floor. Gravity keepsthe Space Station and the Moon in orbit around theEarth, and they're bothcontinually falling around their orbits. The Earth is also continually falling ...in the orbit that it follows around the sun.

Movement of a sphere, with a tilted axis, in its orbit, around its primary star.
Another word for revolve is orbit.
It is elliptical path.
Gravity keeps everything in orbit around the Sun.
If the satellite is in an orbit that takes it over the North and South Poles, it will eventually cover all parts of the Earth as the Earth spins beneath it. This kind of orbit is called a polar orbit.
communication satellites, astronomy, navigation, etc.

The Sputnik 1 was launched by the Soviet Union in 1957 to orbit around the Earth, the very first of it's kind.

You'd have a geocentric system.
Im pretty sure it was a Bull Terrier.
