How does the US protect its satellites?

What are three types of artificial satellites?

Communication satellites: these are used to transmit television, radio, telephone, and internet signals.

Weather satellites: used to monitor weather patterns and provide important data for weather forecasting.


How do satellites help us?

Natural satellites, we only have one - the Moon - helps us by providing a bit of moonlight at night, and also plays a role in stabilising the Earth on its axis. Artificial satellites helps us with navigation, communication, weather forecasts, pictures of the Earth and surveying.


Why are satellites important to Earth?

Perhaps one of the most important and controversial uses of satellites today is that of monitoring the Earth's environment. Many satellites study features on the ground, the behavior of the oceans, or the characteristics of the atmosphere. Satellites that observe the Earth to collect scientific data are usually referred to as "Earth observation satellites." Sometimes the interpretation of their data has been controversial because the interpretation is difficult and people have used the data to call for substantial changes in human behavior.
