There is claimed to be 4,000 out there. Hope this helps!
There is much space debris. Humans have many decayed satellites and probes floating around.
There are millions of pieces of space debris, ranging from defunct satellites to tiny fragments, currently in orbit around Earth. These objects pose a threat to functioning satellites and spacecraft, as well as the International Space Station. Efforts are being made to track and mitigate the amount of space debris in orbit.
As of October 2023, there are over 3,000 active satellites orbiting Earth. This number includes various types of satellites, such as communication, weather, navigation, and scientific research satellites. Additionally, there are thousands of inactive satellites and fragments from past missions contributing to space debris. The total number of objects tracked in space, including satellites and debris, exceeds 30,000.
around 900
Sure. Have you seen the video of the astronauts floating around inside their satellites, international space station, space shuttle, Apollo capsule, etc. ?Weight depends on the gravitational field in which the mass is located. No gravity = no weight.
The Sun, moons , planets, asteroids, comets, meteoroids, dust, gases are all in our solar system. There are also man made objects floating around such as satellites and space probes.

First was sputnik, but anything from the Direct TV and XM radio satellites and telecommunication, GPS to the International Space Station are artificial satellites in Earth Orbit. There are artificial satellites currently in orbit around other planets as well.
he is in space floating around
They just keep floating around.
No. Earth's only naturall satellite, the moon, is 4.5 to 4.6 billion years old. None of the artificial satellites are more than 60 years old.
