it burns off due to friction associated with the gravitational pull of the earth. it may appear as a shooting star during its process of burning.

Is international space station closer to Earth than the weather satellites and GPS satellites in miles?
It depends on which satellite you are talking about. However YES, it is closer than any geostationary weather satellite and it is closer than any GPS satellites.
What is the difference between a POES satellite and a GOES satellite?
A GOES satellite stays seemingly motionless, hovering 35,800 km above the Earth's equator, while a POES satellite travels over multiple lines of longitude, moving around the Earth. POES is also closer to the Earth, at about 750 km above Earth.
What is a natural satellite that revolves around earth?
The Moon is Earth's natural satellite.
How are satellite pictures of earth and other planets made and transmitted?
Satellite pictures are taken through the satellite and sent to Earth via satellite waves.

When two artificial satellite revolve around the earth the one's closer and the one's further. which one revolve the earth with higher speed?
The one that is closer will move at a higher speed. The same happens, for example, with planets revolving around the Sun - the planets closer to the Sun move faster.

What happens as you get closer to the center of the earth?
As we get closer to the center of the earth, the gravity of earth increases and the heat too increases...thats what i think.

Why do satellite suddenlystop being visible in a clear night sky?
That happens when the satellite enters Earth's shadow.
Why does a satellite need to be high above the earth?
If they were closer, then they could potentially fall to the ground. (WillyD)
What happens when any object is dropped from a satellite?
It will stay with the satellite for a while, in a similar orbit. If the satellite is in low orbit, gradually the object will get away from the satellite, due to "tidal forces" from Earth.
Which is closer to the sun a satellite in Leo orbit or in geostationary orbit?
LEO orbit is closer to the Earth than a geostationary orbit is.There's essentially no difference in their distance from the Sun.
What happens to the earth orbit speed as it gets closer to the sun?
It increases.
What happens to the temperature as you travel closer to the center of the earth?
It gets hotter
Does a satellite circle the Earth or does Earth circle a satellite?
Technically, the Earth and any satellite both circle their mutual center of mass. Just like the balancing of an adult and a child on a see-saw, since the earth's mass is several times the mass of the satellite, their common center of mass is closer to the earth's center than it is to the satellite. Even in the case of the moon, the pair's common center of mass is inside the earth. In the case of any man-made artificial satellite, the mass ratio is several gazillion, and the common center of mass can't be more than a hair's breadth from the earth's center. So for any satellite, including the moon, it looks exactly as if the satellite is circling the earth.
The earth in its orbit moving closer to the sun causes what on earth?
Well winter happens when we are closest to the sun.
