What type of satellite orbits perpendicular to the earths equator?
polar satallite
Is the equator a polar region?
No, the equator could be said to be the opposite of the Polar regions.
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.
What are the types of satellites orbits?
There are basically three types of orbits.* Sun Synchronous Orbits * Polar Orbits * Geosynchronous Orbits There are variations on these types. Visit related link below.
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.
What are 3 planetary 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
What is a polar satelite?
A satelite that orbits between the two poles.
Why are polar satellites called Detective satellite?
A satellite in a polar orbit orbits from north to south. As the earth turns, it passes over all the surface area of the earth. Therefore, polar orbits are ideal for detecting things on the planet's surface.
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.
