What is the motion of an artificial satellite?

Artificial satellites orbit the Earth. Some are geostationary - means that their orbital period matches the revolutions of the Earth, keeping them in the same spot over the surface all the time. Other travels roughly pole-to-pole, allowing them to cover the whole Earth as the Earth rotates beneath them.


How much surface area of the earth is covered by greenhouse gases?

Greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide, are part of the Earth's atmosphere; as such, they cover all of the Earth's surface. The whole world is covered by atmosphere.


Why do satellites have a period of rotation equal to the earths period of rotation?

Some satellites cover the whole earth each pass, because that is what they are used for. However, many also cover nly certan regions such as the poles or the equator or one continent or one country. Geostationary orbiters for example, stay above the same place forever (that is, until they are taken or sent down by something). Many orbit over the same places each time, covering the same regions each pass. This is true of all satellites, the difference is how large the regions are nd how many of them. Some satellites cover the whole earth each pass, because that is what they are used for.

Non Geo stationary satellite is that satellite which has different angular velocity from earth and not placed on the height of 36000 Km from the earth. If you use Geo stationary satellite than only 3 satellites are enough to cover whole world. most of satellite are geostationary and they are(most of them) active satellites too.
