What Keeps Satellites in Orbit?

| Description | What keeps satellites in orbit, is a curious question. Man-made satellites don't fall from the sky for the same reason that the moon doesn't crash into the earth, or that the Earth doesn't crash into the Sun. Satellites keep itself in orbit actually by doing balance between two factors, its velocity and the gravitational pull between the satellite and the planet it orbits. This is the reason that satellites don’t fall to earth though there are thousands of satellites orbiting around earth but they don’t crash. |
