because of the gravity in our solar system. The sun keeps us (the earth) in its gravity. And we keep the satellite in our gravity. And it works like stone in thread and if we rotate it then stone will be at the other end of thread and will keep surrounding you.
Moons and planetary rings can revolve around a planet.A satellite or moon.A satellite or if it's big enough a moon
A person in an artificial satellite around Earth would experience weightlessness due to the constant freefall towards Earth. They would also see the Earth rotating beneath them, experiencing multiple sunrises and sunsets in a single day. Additionally, they would be shielded from Earth's atmosphere and be able to see the curvature of the planet.
The Moon is Earth's natural satellite.
If by satellite you mean an object that orbits the earth, then the Moon is a satellite of the earth. There are thousands of other satellites put into orbit by both private and public organizations used for everything from GPS to communication and even you TV service.
Gravity and velocity vectors in the proper ratio combine to make a state of perpetual falling towards the Earth that always misses
It depends on where the Moon is in its orbit around the Earth, and where the Earthis in its orbit around the Sun. With those positions always changing, it takes sunlightanywhere between8minutes 9.3seconds and 8minutes 28.7secondsto reach the Moon.
. The speed of the satellite is adjusted so that it falls to earth at the same rate that the curve of the earth falls away from the satellite. The satellite is perpetually falling, but it never hits the ground!
No, the Equator is about 40,075 kilometres (24,901 mi) long.
A Geostationary orbit - it means that the satellite will always stay above the same point on Earth. Hope that helps
No a satallite is just something that orbits around an object.
a weather satellite and it rotates around the Earth at the same rate and in the same direction that Earth revolves so it is always fixed over the same location.
They do fall. But they're traveling fast enough so that the surface of the Earth falls away from them as fast as they are falling. Same thing that keeps the Earth from falling into the sun.
Yes. They accelerate (change the direction of their movement) towards Earth, and this may be labelled as "falling".Yes.

Well because of its forward motion. The definition of gravity is an attraction between 2 or more objects. The gravity from Earth is pulling the satellite towards earth or it is falling down. Now it becomes awkward..... The forward motion of the satellite will make itself fall around the Earth or it goes in an orbit.HOPE I HELPED!!!!!
Items, be they planets, moons or satellites, stay in orbit because they care carefully balanced between their inertia and the gravity of the primary object. They are freely falling - AROUND the primary.A satellite in low Earth orbit goes about 18,000 miles per hour in a direction tangent, or sideways, to the Earth's surface. Without gravity, it would fly off into space. It is continually falling toward the Earth. But because the satellite is moving sideways, by the time the satellite would have fallen to the ground, the satellite has already missed; it is along in its orbit, still falling, still traveling sideways to the Earth.
