                                                    There are various types of man-made satellites revolving
                                              in their respective orbits in outer space. Satellites are invented
                                              for communication purposes, weather forecasts and Earth
                                              observations. Why are these satellites able to revolve in their
                                              respective orbits?
                                                    Several hundred years ago, Isaac Newton, a scientist,
                                              conceptualised a universal law connecting all heavenly bodies
                                              and also man-made satellites. Curiosity about the universe has
                                              encouraged scientists to launch spaceships and satellites which
                                              can overcome the Earth’s gravity. At present, there are spaceships
                                              which are moving far away from Earth. Such spaceships enable
                                              photographs of planets to be taken to benefi t scientifi c inventions
                                              and technology.
