A continuous acceleration toward the center of the Earth equal to GM/R2 where G is the Gravitational Constant, M the mass of the Earth and R the distance between the satelite and the center of the Earth. If you multiply this by the mass of the sattelite itself, you get the force acting on the satelite to produce the acceleration. It is this force, causing this acceleration, which holds the satelite in orbit. Without it the satelite would obey Newton's first law of motion and just move out in a straight line. Note that this is true of any object orbiting any thing, whether it is an artificial satellite orbiting the earth, a planet or spacecraft orbiting the Sun, or a star orbiting the center of the galaxy.

What is the effect of THE MOON'S GRAVITY PULLS ON EARTH?
The most noticeable effect is the tides.
How does Earth's gravity affect the planets?
The effect is very small.
How can the effect of gravity on the moon be shown on earth?
by reducing the gravity 6times artificialy, nd it is not possible naturaly...
How does the effect of the suns gravity on Pluto compare to the effect of the suns gravity on earth?
well pluto is so far away that the sun rays can't reach out that far for it to be warmer and for earth,the earth is much closer and could get most of the suns hot rays
What effect does gravity have on Neptune?
Gravity on Neptune is responsible for holding the planet together and keeping its atmosphere in place. The strong gravitational pull of Neptune also affects its moons and nearby objects in space, controlling their orbits and movements.
At what altitude does the Earth's gravity no longer have an effect on the astronauts or the space shuttle?
At what altitude does the Earth's gravity no longer have an effect on the astronauts or the space shuttle?
What is the effect of THE MOON'S GRAVITY PULLS ON EARTH?
The most noticeable effect is the tides.
Does gravity have more effect the closer you are to earth?
Yes, gravity decreases with the square of the distance.
What effect is caused by the Moon's gravity?
Earth's tides are caused by the Moon's gravity (in combination with the Sun's).
What effect does gravity have on the sun earth and moon?
it keeps them in place
How does Earth's gravity affect the planets?
The effect is very small.
Does how fast earth spins effect gravity?
There is no effect to gravity due to earth fast spins because gravity is other thing and spin of earth is different thing. So we could not compare to each other. Gravity is made of mass of earth and spin of earth is due to sun, as earth revolving around the sun.
Why do tides appear at both sides of the earth?
It is the effect of the moon's gravity on earth's oceans.
Does the international dateline have gravity?
The international dateline has normal gravity; our time zone conventions have no effect on the gravity of the planet Earth.
What effect does the gravity of Mars have on Earth?
The gravity of Mars is about 38% of that on Earth. This means that if you were on Mars, you would weigh less than on Earth because gravity is weaker. However, the gravity of Mars has minimal direct effect on Earth as they are separate celestial bodies with their own gravitational fields.
How can the effect of gravity on the moon be shown on earth?
by reducing the gravity 6times artificialy, nd it is not possible naturaly...
Effect of surface area from gravity on earth?
The effect of surface area on gravity on Earth is minimal. Gravity primarily depends on the mass of the Earth and the distance between an object and the Earth's center. Changes in surface area would not significantly affect the gravitational pull experienced by objects on Earth.
