The earths mass is being sucked into the sun by the suns gravity

[onthecuttingedge2005]

Satellites within 20,000 miles are still trapped by Earth's Gravitational field and will eventually re-enter Earth's atmosphere, Satellites within 1000 miles of Earth will fall back to Earth in the next 20 years, the Satellite mass will stay on/around the Earth so long as the Satellite doesn't leave gravitational orbit which is somewhere close to the moon.

if it is gravitationally trapped it isn't going anywhere except back to Earth.

I really don't think we put 100,000 lbs of satellites a year into space anyways and knowing that 80 to 90% of the mass of average satellites are made of Beryllium which has a very very low weight ratio.

If you have some figures I would love to see them.

Thanks

Gravity is not the only force involved in our obit of the sun. There are magnetic forces and electric forces that play a part also. Those forces are 80 times stronger that gravity.

In fact, I am not entirely convinced that gravity is not the interplay of those two forces (electrical and magnetic) pushing and pulling on huge charged masses in space, like the Earth.

I've heard that plasma cosmology explains why galaxies spin as fast as they do with out flying apart. Morons that are not far from believing that the Earth is flat or the center of the Universe have come up with some pure fantasy they call "dark matter" and "dark energy". (Am I living in the dark ages!?!)

The Earth is electrically charged. Know it. You live in an electrical plasma. Accept it and move on. (I bet you never noticed the ten thousand volts you had on you until you touched the door nob and got zapped.) (I bet you still don't notice the hundreds of volts you are charged with this very moment.)

I look up at the sky and don't see sky. I see electricity and magnetism. I force myself to see it. Charge, movement and magnetism at right angles. (Nobody else does, so I will)

I look at the sky and see various densities of energy even some that have condensed into what we call mass.

Utilitarian,
My question is how can a satellite of earths get further away every year?
Can you answer this question?
Not likely.
But I am sure you can call me names.

@all
Take a look at this:

Tidal effects of the earth-moon interaction cause the moon to lose energy, and to conserve momentum, it moves further away as the earth slows from oceanic friction by the tide's movements.

there are many theories that describe how the moon came about to be Earth's satellite.

one theory I hold is long ago the now destroyed 5th (not Jupiter) planet that is now the Asteroid belt gave off a large piece of planetary shrapnel that got captured into Earth's planetary gravitation that over time reformed itself into a moon like planetoid. The moon has some rather huge Magma stress points like that of the sea of tranquility and so forth that indicated large tidal forces at some point in the moons history was tearing at its crust tremendously which also indicates that the moon was very much closer to the Earth at some point in its orbital exchange.

the only other theory that makes sense is that Earth at one time had a planetary dust ring like Saturn that coalesced into the moon but that is only my second thought. I prefer the first over the second.

What if earth WAS the 5th planet and we got hit just right by a comet, bumps us up to number three and the moon is whats left of the comet in orbit cleaning up the pieces, would years of liquid gasses burning off and sloshing around have the same effect as oceans? would there be evidence of this? an atmosphere on the moon or would the earth absorb it over time?
