No. That only applies to low Earth orbit. Geostationary satellites orbit beyond it.

Where would you usually find a satellite?

You would usually find a satellite up in space, and at places like ESA, JEXA, and NASA Note that the term "satellite" does not just refer to artificial satellites. The moon is a satellite because it orbits the Earth. Any of the moons of the various planets are satellites of those planets. The Earth (and the other planets) are all satellites of the Sun. A satellite is any body which is attached to another body via gravitational pull.


Are all the spacecrafts that go to moon called satellites?

No - satellites do not go to the moon. Satellites orbit planets/moons/objects with gravity in space.


What are unmanned satellites?

Satellites without people. For the United States that's all space flights except the Suttle and International Space Station, both with depend on human beings.


What happens to the junk thrown by astronomers in the space station and space shuttles Does it stay afloat?

It usually stays in orbit around the earth, and poses a serious threat to all orbiting satellites. Even a small object can destroy things at high speed. Most satellites can move around projected paths of junk thrown in space. Some astronomers use radio telescopes to track "Space Junk".


Where do artificial satellites come from?

Artificial satellites come from all over the world. Each country send their own satellites into space.


Why is the thermosphere impontant to life on earth?

It keeps all the heat in from the sun so we stay warm enough so the world can be populated.


What layer of atmosphere has the highest temperature?

The thermosphere is the "hottest" layer of the Earth's atmosphere. As the outermost layer with substantial numbers of molecules, it receives the most direct radiation from the Sun. However, despite the high molecular temperatures measured in this layer (as high as 2500°C or 4530°F), the matter is tenuous compared to the lower atmosphere. An object within the thermosphere would absorb very little total heat energy. Almost all satellites, and the International Space Station, orbit within the thermosphere. The layer periodically varies in thickness, stretching from about 80 kilometers in altitude to between 250 and 500 kilometers. The thermosphere.

Are space telescopes manned or unmanned satellites?

All space telescopes are unmanned - unless you want to count the small telescopes on the Shuttle or IIS as space telescopes.


What is the altitude of thermosphere?

The altitude of the Thermosphere is from about 50 miles to 310 miles. The Thermosphere is the biggest of all layers of the Earth's atmosphere.


Were do all of the TV satellites go when there in space?

All of the TV satellites, and most of the weather ones, are at different spots on a big circular orbit, directly over the equator and about 22,200 miles above it.
