Why don't satellites in orbit fall to the ground why don't the fly off in space?

that is because the 0 gravity keeps it in space and the orbit brings them around without knocking them down or anywhere else


Why don't satellites in orbit fly off into space?

Satellites in orbit don't fly off into space because they are in a continuous state of free fall towards Earth, which creates a balance between gravitational pull and their forward velocity. This results in a stable orbit where the satellite moves fast enough that the curvature of its path matches the curvature of the Earth. Essentially, they are falling towards the planet but also moving forward, creating a circular or elliptical path around it. This balance between gravitational force and inertial motion keeps them in orbit.


What was the name of the first space shuttle to fly in space?

The first Space Shuttle, named Columbia, took off into space on April 12, 1981.


What happens once the space shuttle goes to space?

When a shuttle reaches outer space it can turn off its thrusters because the law of inertia states that an object in motion can stay at motion until a force acts upon it. And it can just fly without wasting gas/fuel.


Who puts junk in space?

Space launches, to get astronauts into space, or to place satellites in Earth orbit, cause unintentional debris as rocket stages are jettisoned and explosive bolts fire. The debris generated travels at huge speeds and remains in orbit for many years. Satellites come to the end of their life, when batteries fail, or electronics wear out and are left in their orbits to naturally decay and fall back to Earth. Finally,the worst form of space junk is the deliberate disintegration of a target satellites by the testing of new space weapons. These weapons are used to show off the technological abilities of nations and as a sign of strength. We are making a prison for ourselves since there are millions of pieces of junk in space and when the Shuttle hit a fleck of paint in space it very nearly blew a hole in the cockpit glass.

Why satellite important to us?

Satellites fly high in the sky, so they can see large areas of Earth at one time. Satellites also have a clear view of space. That's because they fly above Earth's clouds and air. Before satellites, TV signals didn't go very far. TV signals only travel in straight lines. So they would go off into space instead of following Earth's curve. Sometimes they would be blocked by mountains or tall buildings. Phone calls to faraway places were also a problem. It costs a lot and it is hard to set up telephone wires over long distances or underwater. With satellites, TV signals and phone calls can be sent up to a satellite. The satellite can then send them back down to different spots on Earth.


How do you turn off fly in minecraft?

Press T and type /fly in mutiplayer. Note that this will only work if you are a mod and there is a flying mod installed. In single player, double press space to fly. Press shift to descend and space to go higher.


Why dont objects in the solar system fly off into space?

They are bound to the sun in closed orbits by mutual gravitational attraction. Those that had too much kinetic energy to be captured and gravitationally bound to the sun, weren't, and they're gone.
