Rockets and Satellites

2. How do rockets lift off?
A rocket can rise into the air because the gases it expels with a downward action force exert an equal but opposite reaction force on the rocket.
What is a Satellite? A satellite is any object that orbits another object in space.
Satellites in orbit around the Earth continuously fall toward Earth, but because Earth is curved they travel around it.
Centripetal force, is any force that causes an object to move in a circular path.
