Look at the satellite, high in the sky!
It travels around and around the Earth without falling to the ground.
A bird has wings to keep it flying.
An airplane has an engine.
But a satellite has neither wings nor engine.
Why does it stay in orbit, travelling around the Earth?

This book helps children understand how gravity keeps objects in orbit.
