Best Answer

A satellite works by receiving waves of various types of information such as radio, television, and weather When the information is received, the satellite then transmits the information to different locations.
1. Working: A satellite has a main computer which is controlled by it's station situated on earth through radio waves. It receives the signals from the antenna and sends back as a response. Everything is done through radio waves.

2. Location: It is sent to stratosphere where there is a limited amount of gravity pull due to which it neither fly away in space nor gets pulled by earth.

3. Power source: It has huge solar panels on it due to which it receives the heat from sun and produces electricity for it.

Navigation. The Global Positioning System (GPS) provides location and time information for anywhere on the Earth via a series of satellites in geostationary orbits. The time it takes for the driver/pilot to send a signal to the satellites and receive it back again can be used to work out how far away you are from the satellites, which is used to work out where you are.
