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.
At that distance, it takes the satellite 24 hours to circle the planet. Since it also takes Earth 24 hours to spin on its axis, the satellite and earth move together. 3. Elliptical Orbit-A satellite in elliptical orbit follows an oval-shaped path.
