Does Uranus have many satellites or a few?

Uranus had 27 known moons last time I checked. There are no artificial satellites.


What eventullay happenes to orbiting satellites?

satellites eventually burn in the atmosphere or impact somewhere on earth but this takes a long time and yes it can be avoided with repositioning burns


What do the managers of Global Positioning System most regularly correct for?

Time and position of the satellites.


What are the benefits of using gps vs regular weather satellites?

GPS satellites are used to help us accurately determine the current time and our location. GPS satellites are not directly used to help us predict the weather. Weather satellites use many imaging and sensing technologies to help us predict the weather, but they are not useful in helping us determine our location. They are two different types of satellites with two different purposes. There are many other types of satellites too, such as communication satellites (such as used with Direct TV), space telescopes (such as Hubble) etc.


How many geo stationary satellites are needed to cover the earth at a time?

Please be a little more precise in your meaning when you say "cover" the Earth. For radio or TV communications, three satellites in geosynchronous orbit will be visible from any inhabitable locale on the planet. (The polar regions aren't really "inhabitable", and aren't visible from GEO. ) For navigational purposes, more are required. The GPS system requires line-of-site to FOUR satellites at one time in order to give a good "fix" of your position; the USAF uses 27 satellites to accomplish this, anywhere on the Earth.

What to expect during the cretaceous period?

Your time machine needs to be recalibrated.


How much would GPS be off if time corrections due to speed and gravitational pull of earth were not made?

Time in the GPS satellites run 1/3 of a billionth of a second faster than time on Earth. This could potentially make the GPS systems off by 6 miles.


What are the man man made satellites?

by satellites we can know about the things happening on earth at a time.


Should corrections be date and time-stamped?

Yes, corrections should be date and time-stamped to provide transparency and allow for tracking and verification of changes made. It helps in establishing an accurate timeline and accountability for the corrections made.


It is good to make corrections every time you fail.(Use: Whenever . . . . . . )?

I found the answer; Whenever you fail, you should make corrections.


Does the department of corrections have the authority to order jail time or is that only up to a judge?

it is only done by a judge. the corrections dept can put you in solitary confinement but it can not give you more jail time


What are the methods in Differential Correction methods?

Some methods for differential correction include Real-Time Kinematic (RTK), Satellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS), and Post-Processing. RTK uses a reference station to provide real-time corrections for centimeter-level accuracy. SBAS uses additional satellites to improve GPS signal accuracy. Post-Processing involves collecting raw GPS data and applying corrections after data collection for increased accuracy.


Is it possible to get a precise measurement that is not accurate?

Certainly. Precision and accuracy do not mean quite the same thing. All measuring tools need to be recalibrated from time to time against a standard. For instance you can get a very precise reading from a micrometer or vernier gage but if it has not been correctly calibrated the reading will not be accurate.

Why does my rear defrost button light blink on an 01 Durango?

This is due too the hvac control head needs to have the mode doors recalibrated. If the recalibration fails repairs will need to be made until the system will past I don't know of anyway to by pass the recalibration at this time.. You will need to see a dodge dealership for this to be done.


Should medical record corrections be date- and time-stamped?

Absolutely yes.


How do satellites aid in map making?

they are using the maps at that time
