Space junk falls towards earth fairly often. When a satellite comes to the end of it's life, its orbit will decay and it will eventually fall to earth. The orbital speed of these objects is quite high though, so when they approach the earths atmosphere they burn up and disintegrate from the heat caused by friction against the atmosphere. The team involved will try to aim for a sparsely populated area or ocean, so any remains will land away from populated areas.
No; gravity will continue acting on your body. If there was no force acting on your body while in space (let's say an orbiting satellite), the satellite would fly out of Earth's orbit and just wander off forever, but that doesn't happen - so gravity has to be acting on the satellite and your body as well!
The â??footprintâ?? is the area of the Earthâ??s surface where a satellite signal can be received. The footprint on Earth is determined by the footprint of the antennas on the satellites.
Yes, it is. Satellite imaging will negate the hypothesis and prove that Earth is round, not flat.
A satellite is an object in space that is orbiting another object. The moon is a natural satellite of the earth. Man-made satellites orbit the earth just outside the earth atmosphere and used for many purposes such as GPS, telecommunications, weather, and spying to name a few. Satellites are in space
This is true if the angular velocity is not a variable. That being said this is the reason why the outer planets such as Saturn and Jupiter have such long Solar orbits as opposed to Earth,
They will hit Earth if, in their orbit around the Sun, they happen to cross Earth's orbit.
the earth would be destroyed
Yes, the moon is a natural satellite of the Earth.
The Moon is the satellite of the earth
moon is the satellite of the earth.
The NASA UARS Satellite fell to earth north-east of Vanuatu, 14.1 degrees South latitude and 170.2 degrees West longitude.
it could be the end of the earth
The most likely factor that would cause a communications satellite orbiting Earth to return to Earth from its orbit would be atmospheric drag. As the satellite moves through the Earth's atmosphere, it experiences friction with air molecules which can slow it down and cause its orbit to decay, eventually leading to re-entry into Earth's atmosphere.
satellite
The definition of a satellite be it man made or natural is, a body that orbits the parent. The earth is a satellite of the sun, the moon is a satellite of the earth ans so are all the man made ones we put in space.

The moon is the Earth's only natural satellite.
