How do stationary space satellite stay in place, and not go around the earth with out falling?
In: Physics
They are actually orbiting around the earth if you look at it from outer space. The satellite does get attracted by Earth’s gravity but since it’s also orbiting, it doesn’t fall. For example, if you tie a string to a ball and you make it orbit around your hand, the ball is pulled by the string but it doesn fall into your hand
