Satellites are used for a great many things. Communications satellites beam TV, radio, and telephone signals all around the world. Navigational satellites help people know where they are and get where they are going. Weather satellites take pictures of clouds and storms from above to help make weather forecasts. Spy satellites look down and snoop on other countries. Other satellites help scientists to study Earth and other planets
Satellites affect our lives every day, and we don't even realize it. They make our lives safer, more convinient, and provide entertainment. Satellites are in charge of why we watch television, use the telephone, have GPS, and are able to predict the weather. it helps determine the climate and it monitors the enviornment. Also it provides us with development of land terrains. Also astrophysicists are allowed more knowlege of space.
GPS satellites are used to help us accurately determine the current time and our location. GPS satellites are not directly used to help us predict the weather. Weather satellites use many imaging and sensing technologies to help us predict the weather, but they are not useful in helping us determine our location. They are two different types of satellites with two different purposes. There are many other types of satellites too, such as communication satellites (such as used with Direct TV), space telescopes (such as Hubble) etc.
A satellite can do many things. There are weather, communication, navigation, and scientific satellites. Mostly the names will help you. The weather satellites give info about the weather of earth at all times. The communication satellites help get you communicating with other people like over phone or radio and television. Navigation satellites help sailors and other vehicle drivers navigate thoughout where they are going. Scientific satellites basically find out sciency things about the earth like radiation.

Communications satellites, abbreviated as "comsats".
They don't help normal citizens, they help the government watch everyone's every movement
Satellites send information. They can also take pictures of different items. Also, Satellites can help stranded boaters as well. They can also relay signals, which is what makes satellite T.V. possible.
they take pictures of space :)
To help our environment because they are safer.
how do astronauts help ,besides conduct tests,and repair satellites
