day 1 $0.01
day 2 $0.02
day 3 $0.04
day 4 $0.08
day 5 $0.16
day 6 $0.32
day 7 $0.64
day 8 $1.28
day 9 $2.56
day 10 $5.12
day 11 $10.24
day 12 $20.48
day 13 $40.96
day 14 $81.92
day 15 $163.84
day 16 $327.68
day 17 $655.36
day 18 $1310.72
day 19 $2621.44
day 20 $5242.88
day 21 $10485.76
day 22 $20971.52
day 23 $41943.04
day 24 $83886.08
day 25 $167772.16
day 26 $335544.32
day 27 $671088.64
day 28 $1342177.28
day 29 $2684354.56
day 30 $5368709.12
----------------------------
which you can set up an equation to find the amount on any particular day:
2(n-1)*$0.01, where n is the day.
So the sixth day would be 2(6-1)*$0.01 = 25*$0.01 = 32*$0.01 = $0.32 which is answer listed above for day 6.

Does gravity have an effect on satellites in orbit?
Yes, gravity affects satellites in orbit by keeping them in their orbital path around the Earth. Gravity provides the centripetal force necessary to maintain the satellite's trajectory and prevent it from moving off into space. Gravity also affects the position of satellites in their orbits and can cause slight perturbations over time.

What does the gravity do to the atmosphere?
Gravity keeps the atmosphere from escaping into space by pulling it towards Earth. This is why the majority of Earth's atmosphere is held close to the surface. The force of gravity also helps to create air pressure by compressing the gases in the atmosphere towards the surface.
