The particles ejected by the sun can damage the information stored on computer microchips on satellites. Cell phone and satellite TV communication are two types of comunication that can be disruppted.

Why do communication and weather satellites always appear at the same place in the sky?
That is because those satellites are in geostationary orbit, which ensures that they stay always above the same spot on the earth's surface. This is possible only if the satellite is placed in orbit at about 22,000 miles above sea level.
Why don't satellites get pulled towards the Earth's surface?
Because of the gravity that Earth has with the moon; Satellites are out of the gravity pull that surrounds Earth, therefore, they are not sucked in.
What is the Landsat program?
The Landsat program is program is a system of satellites that take pictures of the surface of a planet.
Is there volcanic activity on Callisto?
The surface of Callisto is heavily cratered and extremely old. It does not show any sign of volcanic activity.
What is responsible for the sun's surface and atmospheric activity?
The sun's magnetic field.
How far must a geostationary communication satellite orbit?
Geo-stationary communication satellites are 35,768 Km far from earth surface at an equatorial latitiude.
Why do satellites have different aerials and positional orbits?
Satellies have different aerials and positional orbits due to the molecular gravitional pull of the moon and the Earth's surface. The use of the aerials in the satellites assist in the communication between the microwave fields of the transmission towers.
What kind of satellites collect data about a strip of Earth's surface?
Mapping satellites.
What carries instruments that collect information about Earth's surface surface and atmosphere?
satellites

Which layer of the atmosphere do communications satellites orbit?
Most communications satellites operate outside of the earth's atmosphere. The GPS satellites are about 23,000 miles from the surface of the earth.
Can five satellites cover the whole surface of the earth?
Actually only 3 geostationary satellites are enough to cover the earth.
Why are satellites used in remote sensing?
remote sensing satellites develop highly detailed and accurate maps on earths surface.
How do satellites and computers work together to produce images of earth?
I have the same question in the textbook the answer is that satellites use sensors to detect changes in the wavelength of light that is reflected from earth surface. They send this information to computers on Earth, which process into images.AdditionallyEarly satellite communication used radio-transmitters to transfer imagery and data to earth ground stations. Some fixed satellites today use microwave radio relay technology to communicate with the ground which is complementary to that of communication cables.Some of the commercial satellites that capture imagery of the Earth include GeoEye and DigitalGlobe, which provide the imagery used by Google Maps, Google Earth, and others.
Why are satellites use for earth's surface?
because they are used!! dahhh!! lol ;)
Can people find satellites in geosynchronous orbits on earth s surface?
- No ...
What carries instruments that collect information about earth's surface and atmosphere?
satellites
