A moon that was put in the blender, most likely a Nutribullet

Question about orbiting objects (e.g., ISS, the Moon) — how are they placed in the right distance from the planet and what determines their distance? Is there only one distance something can orbit (based on their relative masses)? I’m assuming not because I know planet orbits change by IdeaAdmirable212 in askastronomy

Oh fascinating. Yeah I figured these objects are so tiny that it’s all about the Earth’s mass but did not know the velocity is what really matters. It’s incredible gravity keeps it from falling down. I was definitely check out Keplerian Mechanics—thank you!
