How Does Four Starlink Satellites Fell From The Sky Each Day Work?

Every day, four Starlink satellites fall from the sky because they're running out of fuel and can't keep going up anymore.

Imagine you have a toy rocket that you launch into the air every day to deliver a letter to your friend. The rocket uses little bits of fuel each time it goes up. After some days, the rocket runs out of fuel and just falls back down, like when you let go of a balloon and it floats up, then pops and drops.

That’s kind of what happens with Starlink satellites. They're satellites that help phones and computers talk to the internet from far away. But they need fuel to keep moving in space. Each day, four of them use up all their fuel and can't go higher anymore, so they fall back down toward Earth.

Think about it like a game of tag, every time you run after your friend, you use energy. After some rounds, you get tired and have to stop running. The Starlink satellites are like players in the game who keep running every day until they can't anymore.

So each day, four satellites say "I'm done" and fall from the sky, just like your toy rocket or balloon!
