Why do artificial satellites revolving around the Earth not collide with each other?

Answers

Answered by Raunak1432

Explanation:

A satellite maintains its orbit by balancing two factors: its velocity (the speed it takes to travel in a straight line) and the gravitational pull that Earth has on it. A satellite orbiting closer to the Earth requires more velocity to resist the stronger gravitational pull.
