How Do Satellites Stay In Orbit? #shorts

Around 8,000 satellites are orbiting Earth right now. But how do they stay in orbit?

Satellites stay in orbit thanks to them being launched into space at such speeds that it balances out the gravitational pull of Earth, allowing it to orbit Earth. Over time though, satellites fall back down to Earth due to hitting atoms in space, such as due to our atmosphere.

Respect. This was an accurate, brief summary of the premise in the video title

Sir how does GPS satellites gets/(generates) its acceleration. Please don't mention international space station (cheche thing)

[leodecol]

Why cant we ever see the earths daily rotation on these videos?

[pilatedndlovu]

Thanks for the education.

But how are those motors kept from overheating and fail?

[heck]

Yet they still don't show us a real satellite... all of them were CGI

Why we can't see any satellite/light reflection from satellites orbiting the earth?

[lcosito]

Supposedly the earth travels at 68, 000 mph across space how the satellites are still out in safe San still stay inside earths orbit???

I wish these people could pronounce the letter "R".

[garryallison]

Do satellites have engines like aeroplanes

[MI-vntp]

ALL YOU NEED ARE BALLONS.. THEY GOT US AGAIN.😂

[smokindomain]

Same speed? What speed are they travelling at compared to the earths spinning rotation… is it the same?

[FelixTrees]

Mate if you research they’re so fake it’s unreal. Just google imagine satellite in space 😂

[clamshot]

Fun fact:- satellites move with 7.92km/sec

I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see anymore to know that I can read your mind
I can read your mind

[LewDanLascivious]

Up here in space
I'm looking down on you
My lasers trace everything you do
You think you've private lives
Think nothing of the kind
There is no true escape
I'm watching all the time
I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean

I'm elected, electric spy
I'm protected, electric eye

Always In focus
You can't feel my stare
I zoom in to you
But you don't know I'm there
I take a pride in probing all your secret moves
My tearless retina takes pictures that can prove
I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual I keep the country clean

I'm elected, electric spy
I'm protected, electric eye

Electric eye
In the sky
Feel my stare
Always there
There's nothing you can do about it
Develop and expose
I feed upon your every thought
And so my power grows
I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean
I'm elected, electric spy
I'm protected, electric eye
I'm elected
Protected
Detective
Electric eye

Always worth coming on these types of videos for the idiotic Flat Earth comemts.

Create emergency evacuation space ships in case earth or the sun moves and renewable never ending energy source one resource that never runs dry is air and air friction let's make steam machine engine that's air friction powered fan powered non heat hurts the air more already enough dry cold heat up there let's make water engines from the renewable resource steam engine and drink fluid forever in space and shower to after we find the gravitational concept out of magnetic pull to the center of the core and let's move the ship on air engine from the fictioning fan moving all that heated freezing energy around in the sky all that popping there's gotta be energy hidden away in those air molecules
