How do satellites not fall back to Earth due to gravity if they are not traveling at escape velocity?
In: Physics
[EDIT] I’m stupid, don’t listen to me, someone below said smarter things.
You said it yourself ‘escale velocity’- it’s velocity needed to escape Earth’s gravitational pull. When you’re far enough there is little pull from Earth’s gravity so it doesn’t float away but it isn’t affected as much to fall on earth.
