The centripetal force is the gravitational force of attraction between the Earth and the Moon.
Also, the gravitational force of attraction between the Earth and the Sun is the centripetal force that causes the Earth to stay in orbit around the Sun.
Also, the gravitational force of attraction between a TV satellite, a weather satellite, or a GPS satellite and the Earth is the centripetal force that causes each satellite to stay in orbit around the Earth.

Answer:
G M m / R^2 = m v^2 / R gravitational force = centripetal force
G M = v^2 R = constant
As v increases R will must decrease
Take the moon as an example
S = 2 pi R where R is about 240,000 miles for one orbit
S / 1 day = 54,000 miles/day for a 28 day circuit
S / 1 hr = 54000 / 24 = 2200 mph which is much less than a satellite in orbit
Answer:
Science is supported by facts and processes.
Science involves observation and experimentation.
Science continually changes and is constantly updated.
