What keeps a satellite in orbit? Whether it is accessing GPS data or global communications, satellites play an integral role in the servicing of the modern world. This animated film, voiced by Johnny Ball, looks at how weâre able to take advantage of the Earthâs gravity to position Satellites in orbit.
I'll touch on a few. First of all, saying the planets go around the Sun is just another way of saying the planets are in orbit around the Sun. A planet orbiting the Sun is like the moon or a NASA satellite orbiting Earth.he Sun is 1000 times heavier than the largest planet, Jupiter (which also happens to be my favorite planet), and it is more than 300,000 times heavier than Earth (another planet I am very fond of). In the same way, the moon and satellites we launch orbit Earth because they are so much lighter than our planet.
