Answer:

The satellite is being accelerated towards the Earth by the gravity of the Earth, but because it's moving sideways too quickly, it keeps missing the Earth. So it keeps falling, but not getting closer. This is what it means to "orbit". In orbit you have two forces balanced, gravity and centripetal acceleration

hope it helped!

Explanation:

B. The title of a map can identify the location it shows.

When presenting a map, it is always important to put the location where the mapping process covers. This is why one can easily infer the locational attribute on a map from the title given to a map. For example, on a geologic map, the title can be "Geological field mapping of BoreCounty and environs", from the title, we can say the location of the mapping was  in BoreCounty.

C. A legend typically explains the area a map shows.

Legends or keys are used to make sense of a map. The legend can be drawn for different map features. A user can easily get a succint interpretation of the map by looking through the legend and applying the symbols and codes of the legend to the map piece. Therefore, legends in most part explains the map area.

D. Colors and symbols are named in the map’s key.

This is true. For any color or symbol used on the map, the key presents and names them. Rivers, rail tracks, roads amongst others appears on a map and they are duly and properly named.
