The earth's orbit around the sun is elliptical, so the earth moves at a constantly varying velocity as it moves closer to the sun (perihelion) or further away (aphelion). The earth's angular velocity (speed of movement) is considerably greater at perihelion than it is at aphelion.
So in that sense, the earth orbits at a constantly varying speed.
But there is a sense in which the earth orbits at constant speed. Similar segments of the elliptical orbit are crossed in similar lengths of time wherever the earth is in its orbital path. The earth gets through 10% of its path in the same length of time whether it is at aphelion (moving slowly) or perihelion (moving fast).
The absolute speed at which the earth moves varies, but the rate at which it orbits is constant.
---- The realisation that the earth's orbit was both speed variant (absolute speed of motion) and speed constant (segment of elliptical orbit covered) was the crucial breakthrough that allowed Johannes Kepler to solve the longstanding problem of the regression of Mercury (why Mercury appears to go backward in its orbit some of the time). Discovering that the earth's orbit is elliptical (astronomers had always assumed orbits were based on perfect circles) was how Kepler showed finally that the earth goes around the sun (and not the other way around).
It depends by how close the satellite is to earth. The closer it is, the faster. The farther away, the slower. So, yes, it can. 30 thousand miles above the Earth to be about the same speed as Earth's rotational speed.
When a satellite orbit's the Earth it collects data and there is just one satellite.
Within the course of several human lifetimes, yes.
Yes. Once a year, at periapsis (when Earth is closest to the Sun, in January), the Earth moves faster; six months later, at apoapsis, it moves slower.
If by satellite you mean an object that orbits the earth, then the Moon is a satellite of the earth. There are thousands of other satellites put into orbit by both private and public organizations used for everything from GPS to communication and even you TV service.
The definition of a satellite be it man made or natural is, a body that orbits the parent. The earth is a satellite of the sun, the moon is a satellite of the earth ans so are all the man made ones we put in space.
Geostationary
No satellite orbits a specific city. A satellite orbits the planet Earth, and may come over a specific city now and then.
You can tell by the seasons, if the sun revolved around the earth the temperature would remain constant all year.
A satellite is an object which orbits a larger body. For example, the Moon orbits the Earth, and the Earth orbits the Sun. The Moon is a satellite of the Earth and the Earth is a Satellite of the Sun.
A satellite is any object that is in orbit around another object. The moon is a natural satellite of the Earth because it orbits around the Earth.
The moon IS a satellite that orbits earth
If by satellite you mean an object that orbits the earth, then the Moon is a satellite of the earth. There are thousands of other satellites put into orbit by both private and public organizations used for everything from GPS to communication and even you TV service.
no its funny. moon is a natural satellite to revolve around earth
this is because, the moon orbits the earth and goes around is.
Here is an example sentence with the word "satellite":The moon is a natural satellite that orbits around the Earth.
Here is an example sentence with the word "satellite":The moon is a natural satellite that orbits around the Earth.
A satellite is an object that orbits around a planet or body in space. There are artificial satellites and natural satellites. An artificial satellite is an object, like a space station, that has been set into orbit around a planet by humans. A natural satellite naturally finds its way into close orbit around a planet, like the moon naturally orbits the Earth.
The earth is a planet. An earth satellite is an artificial satellite that orbits the earth A geostationary satellite is an earth satellite that orbits at a height (approximately 22,000 miles) precisely determined to ensure that the satellite remains over the same spot on the earth's surface at all times, thus appearing from the earth to be stationary in the sky.
Because it only orbits around our planet.
