Question

Why satellites near the earth should have greater orbital velocity?

Answer 1

$\huge\mathfrak\red {Answer}$

☆Earth's escape velocity is much greater than what's required to place an Earth satellite in orbit. With satellites, the object is not to escape Earth's gravity, but to balance it.

☆At an altitude of 124 miles (200 kilometers), the required orbital velocity is a little more than 17,000 mph (about 27,400 kph).
