Hi I am from Tuticorin, Tamilnadu.
I have completed my XII in this march 2008.
I have a general doubt.
We know that gravitational force is directly proportional to the respective masses.
And it has been said that the satellites are orbiting around the earth due to this gravitational force.
Let us, for an assumption think that there is no death in this world, or we just think that the birth rate is 2000 times greater than death rate.
So gradually the mass of earth will encounter a steady increase.
So as it has been already told that the force of gravitation is directly proportional to the mass.
In such a condition as I told the gravitational force between the earth and the satellites will increase.
Now let I come to my question.....
Is there is a chance for the satellites to fall into earth if the above criteria happens?
