a satellite maintains an orbit equidistant from the earth at all points along its orbital path hiw is the satellite affected by the earths gravity

Respuesta :

AL2006
ANY closed orbit exists because of the centripetal force of gravity.
Without the force of gravity, the satellite would simply sail away
in a straight line.

The orbit you're describing happens to be a circular orbit, but it
doesn't have to be circular.
