Possibly because it passes into Earth's shadow, though without more detail on exactly what satellite it's hard to be certain.

What would happen if the force of earth's gravity suddenly stop pulling in the moon?

In that case, the Moon would move in a straight line instead of moving around the Earth; it would quickly get away.


Why is satellite information important?

Satellite information is important because it provides real-time data on weather patterns, natural disasters, climate change, and environmental changes. It is also crucial for communication, navigation, surveillance, and monitoring of infrastructure such as pipelines, agriculture, and transportation systems. Additionally, satellite data helps in conducting scientific research, exploring space, and ensuring national security.


Why do tornadoes suddenly stop?

Scientists still do not fully understand how tornadoes dissipate. But it is believed that cold air from the downdraft (e.g. rain producing) portion of either the tornado's parent storm or a nearby storm undercuts the rotating updraft that is the driving force of the tornado. This cuts off the supply of warm, moist air that fuels the updraft, causing it to weaken or dissipate.


What happens when the planets stop moving?

If the planets were to suddenly stop moving, they would no longer orbit the sun due to the lack of gravitational pull. Without their orbital motion, the planets would likely drift off into space in a straight line until they either collided with something or were gravitationally attracted to another object. This scenario is purely hypothetical as the laws of physics dictate that the planets will continue to orbit the sun.


What would happen to the planets if the sun's gravity was suddenly switched off?

If sun's gravity suddenly disappears then the planets will stop to revolve around the sun after some time and this duration is equal to the time taken by the light to reach from sun to other planets. For e.g. Time taken by earth to stop revolving and flying off in any direction = Time taken by light to earth from sun = 8 min. 20 seconds Also, planets will start to fly in any direction and they may collapse and in simple words: Solar system will collapse and life will disappear on earth.
