In order for a satellite to successfully orbit the Earth, it must travel a horizontal distance of 8000 meters before falling a vertical distance of 5 meters. A horizontally launched projectile falls a vertical distance of 5 meters in its first second of motion.
A satellite (sometimes called a called a bird) can stay in orbit for either a long or a short time, depending on the nearness of the orbit to earth. What is called low earth oâ¦rbit (LEO) is from about 160 to 2000 kilometers up.
