For the longest time I have been wondering how a satellite is placed in

circling the Earth and it just baffles me how anyone can get anything in
orbit without hitting anything. Can anyone explain this?
Sure. Those pictures you've been looking at are not drawn to scale.
The dots representing the satellites should be a lot smaller. If
they were, you'd see there's a lot of "space" out there.
