Do satellites have gravity?

Gravity is a characteristic of space. Because of it, every material object encounters a force of attractiontoward every other material object. That leads to some interesting consequences:-- A satellite is attracted toward the earth.-- You are attracted toward the earth.-- The earth is attracted toward a satellite.-- A satellite is attracted toward you.-- The earth is attracted toward you.-- You are attracted toward a satellite.-- Two satellites are attracted toward each other.-- You are attracted toward Mars.-- The sun is attracted toward you.-- The sun is attracted toward a satellite.-- The sun is attracted toward my dog.-- You are attracted toward my dog, and also toward the sun.-- My dog is attracted toward Pres. Obama's golf balls....etc.
