What type of satellite orbits perpendicular to the earths equator?
polar satallite
Is the equator a polar region?
No, the equator is not a polar region. The equator is an imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, while the polar regions are located near the North and South Poles. The equator is known for its warm and tropical climate, while the polar regions are characterized by cold temperatures and ice.
Why does saturn bulge out at the equator and flatten at the poles?
Saturn's day is about 10 and one half hours. This rapid rotation makes the largest polar flattening among the planets.
If the arctic is under the equator like Australia how is it so cold?
The arctic is NOT "under the equator." It is at the north polar region. The Antarctic is at the south polar region; the average temp in the polar regions are much colder than at the equator.
Does Neptune have polar caps?
Yes, Neptune does have polar caps. Like Earth and other planets with atmospheres, Neptune's polar regions have icy caps composed of a mixture of water, ammonia, and methane ice. These polar caps experience seasonal variations as Neptune orbits the Sun.
What are 3 planetary winds?
the trade winds,the westerlies,the polar winds
What do polar orbiting satellites do?
Polar orbits pass over the north and south poles of the Earth.
Is polar zone is near the equator?
Yes
How does the snow and ice in the arctic help us humans?
It helps to regulate the planets temperature. If there were no polar ice, the heat from the sun would cause the temperature to climb much more rapidly. The warmer air at the equator rises, which 'sucks in' colder air from the polar regions regions. This cycle is continuous, regulating the planets temperature all year round.
Where is the equator in a polar projection?
A polar projection of the earth shows a pole (north or south, depending on the projection) at the center of a circular map. The equator is the circumference of the circle.
What is a polar satelite?
A satelite that orbits between the two poles.
Is it possible to place an object into a stable orbit that doesn't cross the equator?
I'm not sure what you mean by "a stable orbit". The Earth's center of mass ... nominally the Earth's center ... always lies in the plane of any Earth orbit, so the ground track of the orbit must either cross the equator or coincide with it.
