Weather satellites allow weather forecasters to track the development of hurricanes, other storms, and flooding patterns. This information allows forecasters to warn residents of the potential dangers.
GPS satellites are used to help us accurately determine the current time and our location. GPS satellites are not directly used to help us predict the weather. Weather satellites use many imaging and sensing technologies to help us predict the weather, but they are not useful in helping us determine our location. They are two different types of satellites with two different purposes. There are many other types of satellites too, such as communication satellites (such as used with Direct TV), space telescopes (such as Hubble) etc.
There are hundreds of thousands pieces of man-made material currently in orbit. A few thousand of them are actual useful satellites, things that we want to have up there; stuff like GPS satellites, communications satellites, weather observation stations, the International Space Station, and of course, DirecTV satellites. Most of them are "space junk"; satellites that have failed, or broken, or out of fuel. Old booster rocket engines. Collision debris, from when the Chinese shot down a satellite and smashed it into 100,000 pieces of litter in orbit, or when one of the Iridium satellites crashed into a Russian reconnaissance bird.

i dont know thats why i am asking you
yes they sometimes are because they help some countries harvest their crops that are affected by droughts.
Applications satellites, like weather satellites, communications satellites (TV, Cell phone, internet), military observation birds, reconnaissance satellites and other "useful" things predominate. Purely scientific satellites such as the Hubble Space Telescope are in the minority.

If they were too far out, then they would not be very useful as weather satellites, because they would orbit too slowly, and they would be too far away to make out the weather.
The sputniks themselves - not much. They were rather crude devices with a limited ability. But they proved that we could build stuff that worked in space, and launch them there. This opened the road for space exploration, and the more widely useful satellites like weather satellites, Communications satellites, satellite television satellite navigation and such.

No; chaos theory is more useful to explain why hurricanes CANNOT be predicted.
Basements can be found in many homes throughout the United States. They are exceptionally useful when weather inclements occur, such as tornadoes or hurricanes. Yes, you should use that.
