No. The plane of any satellite orbit has to include the center of the earth, so the ground-track
of the orbit would be great circle on the earth if the planet didn't rotate.
Another way to visualize it: For every point in a satellite orbit that's north of the equator,
there has to be a point south of the equator. (Technically, this is only true for circular orbits,
but conceptually it's a good way to get the point across.)
What else can I help you with?
Can a satellite maintain an orbit in the plane of the Arctic Circle?
Maybe.
Can a satellite orbit the Arctic Circle?
Yes
How long does it take a satellite in low earth orbit to circle the entire planet?
About an hour.
How much work is done on a satellite in a circular orbit about Earth?
The work done on a satellite in a circular orbit around Earth is zero because the gravitational force acting on the satellite is perpendicular to the direction of motion, so no work is done to maintain the orbit.
How does the centripetal force act on a satellite?
The centripetal force acts towards the center of the circular path followed by the satellite, allowing it to maintain its orbit. In the case of a satellite orbiting Earth, the force of gravity provides the centripetal force required to keep the satellite in its orbit.
What is the path of a planet or a satellite called?
A satellite is a body in orbit around another lager body. A probe is a machine sent to a specific place or specific course in space. Comment: That doesn't seem to answer the question. The curved path that a satellite follows is either a circle or an ellipse
How is a weather satellite in polar orbit able to view Earths surface?
From the question, I'm guessing that when the questioner reads the term "polar orbit", he's picturing the satellite doing a little tiny circle in the sky over the North Pole. This is not an accurate understanding of the term. Remember that the center of the orbit of an artificial satellite has to be at the center of the earth. A 'polar orbit' is an orbit that covers both poles. If you picture the globe of the earth, the satellite's orbit is a circle standing up, with the satellite traveling up and down, passing over both poles in each complete revolution of the earth. As the earth rotates, every point on earth passes under the orbit, and sooner or later, every point on earth will be visible from the satellite.
Is Orbit Send With Satellite?
The orbit helps the satellite go into orbit.
What is station keeping of satellite?
Geostationary should resolve in geostationary orbit because its centrimeter and gravitational force in geostationary satellite.A parking slot is provided for satellite.In geostationary satellite is maintain in this orbit in its whole life and maintain satellite in geostationary orbit is called "Station Keeping"In other words, the control routine necessary to keep the satellite in positionis known as "Station Keeping".It use to overlapping of coverage area of individual satellite.
How long does it take for a satellite to circle around the earth?
The time it takes for a satellite to complete one full orbit around the Earth, known as its orbital period, can vary depending on the altitude of the satellite. On average, a satellite in low Earth orbit (LEO) typically takes about 90 minutes to complete one orbit, while a geostationary satellite orbits the Earth every 24 hours.
If the mass of a statellite is doubled while the radius of its orbit remains constant then the speed of the satellite is increased by how much?
The speed of the satellite will remain the same regardless of doubling the mass, as long as the radius of its orbit remains constant. The speed of the satellite in orbit is determined by the gravitational force between the satellite and the celestial body it is orbiting, not the mass of the satellite itself.
Where is the acceleration of satellite directed?
The acceleration of a satellite is generally directed towards the center of the celestial body it is orbiting, such as the Earth for a satellite in Earth's orbit. This acceleration is due to gravity, which keeps the satellite in its orbit.
