How are satellite pictures of hurricanes taken?

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA, has Geostationary Operational Satellites 22,300 miles above the Earth's equator. Since the satellite is rotating as fast as the Earth, it can constantly monitor weather systems and capture pictures.


Have any man-made satellites been sent to the planet earth?

Since we live ON the Earth, all satellites WE have sent have been sent FROM the Earth, and circle around it.


Why did the people think that the Earth was flat 2000 years ago?

They actually didn't. Flat Earth is a myth. The spherical Earth has been a scientifically established fact since long before Ptolemy.


What describes how life on Earth has changed since artificial satellites have been placed in orbit?

Weather forecasting and telecommunication have improved


Were there satellites in 1930?

No, the first man-made satellite was launched in 1957 by the then Soviet Union: The Sputnik-1 satellite.Natural satellites of courses existed since the creation of our solar system. For example, our moon can also be called a satellite of earth, but you are probably asking about man-made satellites?


Why do tides occur at different spots on earth?

Tides are caused mainly by the gravitational pull of the moon on the water in oceans and big lakes. Since the earth is spherical, the moon is in different positions relative to different spots on the earth.

What is the strength of a globe as a representation of the earth?

Since the planet Earth actually is approximately spherical in shape (technically it is an oblate spheroid, bulging at the equator - somewhat like myself) a globe is a good model of what the Earth actually looks like.


How can you calculate the density and volume of earth give the formula?

Density = mass / volume since earth is nearly spherical, Volume = (4/3)pi x r3 find volume, then divide this into the mass.


Why the raindrop is spherical?

rain drop is spherical since the surface tension of sphere is less when compared to other shapes.


What is the path light travels if it does not hit an object?

well if the path of light is undisturbed by an object since the earth is spherical in shape, the light will go around the earth again and again untill the ray of the rectillinear propogation is disturbed.
