What else can I help you with?
What is the name of the orbit of the satellite around the earth?
A Geostationary orbit - it means that the satellite will always stay above the same point on Earth. Hope that helps
An orbit in which a satellite travels at the same speed as the earths rotational speed is called?
That's a 'geosynchronous' orbit. If it also happens to be over the equator, so that the satellite appears to stay at the same point in the sky, then it's a 'geostationary' orbit.
What is repitivity and revisit of satellite orbit?
The repetitivity and revisit of satellite orbit refers to the time elapsed between observations of the same point on earth by a satellite. It usually depends with the target location, the orbit of the satellite and the swath of the sensor.
How is artificial satellite and the moon the same?
they both orbit the earth
What is a geo synchronus satellite?
A geosynchronous satellite is a satellite in geosynchronous orbit, with an orbital period the same as the Earth's rotation period.
How can you tell a satellite is in geostationary orbit?
A satellite is in geostationary orbit when it orbits the Earth at the same speed and direction as the Earth's rotation. This allows the satellite to appear stationary from the surface of the Earth. Measurements of its position and velocity can confirm that it is in geostationary orbit.
Is Orbit Send With Satellite?
The orbit helps the satellite go into orbit.
If the mass of a statellite is doubled while the radius of its orbit remains constant then the speed of the satellite is increased by how much?
The speed of the satellite will remain the same regardless of doubling the mass, as long as the radius of its orbit remains constant. The speed of the satellite in orbit is determined by the gravitational force between the satellite and the celestial body it is orbiting, not the mass of the satellite itself.
What does a satellite do when its in geostationary orbit?
it's hot. ;)
What orbit would allow a satellite to see all parts of the globe?
A geostationary orbit would allow a satellite to see all parts of the globe as it orbits the Earth at the same speed that the Earth rotates. This means the satellite remains fixed above the same point on the equator, providing continuous coverage of that area.
Can an object be a satellite and orbit another object at the same time?
Yes. The whole idea of being a satellite is that the object orbits another object. If you mean 'can a satellite orbit more than one object', then the answer is also yes. Objects orbiting binary stars would be an example of this.
When a satellite is in orbit. Why does it follow a curved path?
The gravitational pull is causing the satellite to orbit around because the pull is the same all the way around. If it ever managed to leave the gravitational pull, it would just wander pretty aimlessly and even then it would go in a straight line. Hope this helps! Comment: In more "scientific" words : 1. The satellite has a velocity that is along the line of its orbit ( in other words "tangential" to the orbit, at any instant). 2. The planet, that the satellite orbits, is trying to pull the satellite in the direction of the planet. 3. The combination of these things results in the curved path. The satellite is constantly being diverted from its direction at a tangent to the orbit by gravity.
