Satellites orbiting the earth have a finite life and sometimes debris of satellites fall to the earth. This is because:
1. | the solar cells and batteries in satellites run out. |
2. | the l2. of gravitation predict a trajectory spiralling inwards.awst |
3. | of viscous forces causing the speed of the satellite and hence height to gradually decrease. |
4. | of collisions with other satellites. |
