I'm pretty sure that gravity and inertia cause something to orbit around another object.

Why does an orbiting satellites speed remain constant?

The satellite will not change speedbecause the gravity of the earth is a perpendicular force which only affectsdirection and not speed. Parallel forces must beapplied in order to change speed, butperpendicular forces only change direction.


What are the names of 63 moons in the planet Jupiter?

Yes because that is how many have been recorded so far...but there most likely are more moons orbiting Jupiter...you never know..but like i said there have been 63 satellites orbiting Jupiter.


What does it mean that the moon orbits around earth?

Answer #1:The Moon orbits around the Earth because its mass is much smaller than thatof the Earth. So, the gravitational power of the Earth keeps the Moonorbiting around it. If the Moon were bigger than the Earth, we would beorbiting around the Moon, instead. All the planets of the solar system orbitaround the Sun, because it is much bigger than the planets.....===================================Answer #2:It means that the Earth and the Moon both revolve around a point betweenthem called their 'common center of mass'. That's the point where the pivotwould have to be in order for them to balance each other on a see-saw.Since the Earth has about 80 times as much mass as the moon has, the pivotwould be about 80 times farther from the moon than it is from the Earth. Theresult is that the 'common center of mass' is actually inside the Earth, andboth bodies are revolving around that point. If you're out in space watching it,it looks like only the moon is doing any revolving. But the fact is that the Earthis also doing a small wiggle around that point.

Why chemical reaction happen?
