Do Satellites all rotate the same way around the earth?

Just wondering if all the satellites that are rotating around the earth go in the same direction or can they go different directions?

Does this make sense?

The fact that the Moon rotates once in the same time it takes to orbit the earth is such astonishing conincidence that scientists probly never will be able to explain it

If light can be bent by gravity and objects at lightspeed have infinite mass, why arnt we crushed by sunlight?

As light can be bent by gravity and therefore must have mass, and objects travelling at the speed of light have infinite mass, why do we not get crushed to death by sunlight?

what would the view be like, traveling at the speed of light? and faster?

as with a sonic boom, I think that eclipsing the speed of light would cause a HUGE flash of light, as reflected light combines with the light that was already reflected.

would traveling at the speed of light make everything else seem to stop as no new imiges could catch you.
and traveling faster would have you catching 'old' light and so you would actually see everything in reverse (like rewinding a movie).
Does this sound about right to you?

I am asking for your opinion of naked eye observations, not equations, thank you.

Can we mechanically move the earth away from the sun? Will the atmosphere also move in tandem?

If the sun will expand to engulf us, or if global warming is increasing, why don't we move the earth a bit away from the sun? What can we use to get the energy required to move this gargantuan body?

And the sun is expected to swallow us in 5billion years - we better start pushing the earth gradually away from the sun until we reach the neighbourhood of another star, which will carry on the function of our present star.

light is the fastest thing known to man?

i was just wondering if light is the fastest thing, my reasoning is this, because of how we are measuring it, we are using 2 other tangable elements, ie distance and time so how can it be faster if both time and distance are already there?
