Man-made satellites orbit Earth by achieving a balance between gravitational pull and their forward momentum. When a satellite is launched, it is accelerated to a high speed, allowing it to enter a trajectory where the curvature of its path matches the curvature of the Earth. This creates a stable orbit, where the satellite continuously falls towards Earth due to gravity but also moves forward fast enough to keep missing it. The altitude and speed determine the type of orbit, such as low Earth orbit (LEO) or geostationary orbit.

Which man-made object is presently farthest away from the earth Is it the hubble satelite?
The farthest man-made object from Earth is Voyager 1 spacecraft, which was launched by NASA in 1977. It has since traveled beyond our solar system and continues to transmit data back to Earth. Hubble Space Telescope is in low Earth orbit and not as far from Earth as Voyager 1.
Why is sputnik 1 famous?
It was the first artificial (manmade) object to be placed in orbit around the earth. It started the space race between the USA and the USSR.
The moon orbiting earth is an example of a what satellite?
A moon is a natural satellite, as opposed to an artificial satellite, which is a man-made object in orbit.
Is the moon or the Hubble space telescope closest to earth?
The Hubble Space Telescope, along with most man-made satellites, is in a low earth orbit. It remains 559 km from the earth. This is much closer than the moon, which orbits at an average distance of 384,392 km. It would be very difficult to have a man made satellite orbit further away from the earth than the moon without the moon interfering in its orbit.
What are earth's artificial sateillites?
Artificial satellites orbiting Earth are man-made objects launched into space for various purposes such as communication, weather monitoring, navigation, and scientific research. They can be either in geostationary or low Earth orbit, and examples include the Hubble Space Telescope, GPS satellites, and communications satellites.
Have any man made satillites been sent to Mercury?
Mariner 10.
What was sputnik I?
The first man made object put into Earth orbit.
Satellite of earth?
A satellite of earth that is not man made is the moon. There are many satellites that are man made that orbit the earth. These satellites are used for communication between Internet and television viewing.
What is spuntik 1 famous for?

Which satellite orbit the earth in a day?
There are many satellites that orbit the earth in a day or less. All of them are man made. The only real satellite that orbits the earth is the moon. That takes 28 days to complete a single orbit.

Which country was the first to orbit the Earth?
No country has ever orbited the earth. Scientists and engineers in the USSR placed the first man-made satellite in earth orbit, in 1957.
Was American or Soviets the first to orbit the Earth?

What was the first man made space satellite called?
Sputnik 1, the first man made object to orbit the earth. And we've been polluting like crazy up there ever since.
