No. There are no artificial satellites orbiting Mercury, Uranus, or Neptune. Mercury has had artificial satellites in the past that were deliberately deorbited when their missions ended. The space probe Voyager 2 flew by Uranus and Neptune, but since it never orbited them, it cannot be considered a satellite. Similarly, New Horizons flew by Pluto, which is no longer considered a planet. The one space probe orbiting Saturn, named Cassini, will be deorbited in September 2017.
What else can I help you with?
What is the source of gravitational pull on the planets?
The gravitational pull on all the planets are artificial satellites because the satellites orbit all the planets!
What are natural or artifial bodies that orbit larger celestial bodies such as planets?
These are called satellites. A lot of planets have natural satellites called moons, which are in orbit around the planet. An artificial satellite is one that is put there by man, it orbits the planet in a similar way.
How many natural and artificial satellites does Venus have?
Venus has no natural satellites. It does have two artificial satellites (space probes). Venus is one of the two planets in our solar system (together with Mercury) that have no moon/natural satellite.
What are the artificial satellites of the Earth?
All the satellites, communications, exploratory, military etc. are artificial satellites of Earth.
Natural or artificial bodies that orbit larger celestial bodies such as planets are called?
satellites
Examples of artificial satellites?
First was sputnik, but anything from the Direct TV and XM radio satellites and telecommunication, GPS to the International Space Station are artificial satellites in Earth Orbit. There are artificial satellites currently in orbit around other planets as well.
Which 3 planets do not possess satellites?
Neither Mercury nor Venus have natural satellites. Earth has one natural satellite and several thousand artificial ones. All of the other planets have at least two (Mars) or more.
Are moons and satellites the same thing?
In astronomy, the term "moon" specifically refers to a natural satellite that orbits a planet, like Earth's moon. Satellites, on the other hand, can refer to both natural moons and artificial objects placed into orbit around planets. So, while all moons are satellites, not all satellites are moons.
Difference between artificial and natural satellites?
Artificial satellites are man-made objects placed into orbit around Earth for various purposes, such as communication, navigation, weather monitoring, and scientific research. Natural satellites, on the other hand, are celestial bodies that orbit planets or dwarf planets, such as Earth's moon, which occur naturally in the universe.
Do artificial satellites orbit the earth?
Yes, but there are also some that orbit other planets.
Artificial satellites orbit the earth?
Yes, but there are also some that orbit other planets.
What do you call the bodies either natural or artificial the orbit a planet or a moon?
Bodies that orbit planets or moons are called satellites.
