Answer:

The correct answer is gravity,

Step-by-step explanation:

Once the object leaves the atmosphere, it is placed in a certain position and begins to orbit the earth. At this point, the possibility of the object remaining in orbit due to gravity will be determined.

Gravity is the force of attraction that exerts all mass on another, and the more mass it has, the greater it will be.

That is why satellites are continuously attracted to the earth.

Have a nice day!
