Question

Which factor decides the orbit of a satellite???​

Answer 1

Answer:

▪️Most scientific satellites, including NASA's Earth Observing System fleet, have a low Earth orbit. The height of the orbit, or distance between the satellite and Earth's surface, determines how quickly the satellite moves around the Earth. An Earth-orbiting satellite's motion is mostly controlled by Earth's gravity.

▫️When rockets launch our satellites, they put them into orbit in space. There, gravity keeps the satellite on its required orbit – in the same way that gravity keeps the Moon in orbit around Earth.
