Satellites cannot orbit the US; they orbit the Earth, and there are several thousand of them.
How many man made satellites orbit the moon?
2
How many artificial satellites are in orbit around earth?
yes
Some satellites are put into an orbit around the earths poles what is this type of orbit called?
Circum polar satellites.
Do all space satellites stay in the thermosphere?
No. That only applies to low Earth orbit. Geostationary satellites orbit beyond it.
Does dbs also known as direct broadcast satellite such as directv and dishtv orbit in a geosynchronous orbit?
Yes, the satellites orbit in a geosynchronous orbit, as with most all communications satellites. (Some exceptions are satellites such as the global positioning satellites.)
What is a known natural satellite?
A moon, as opposed to artificial satellites that we manufacture and place in orbit, like the DirecTV satellite.
How many satellites orbit the US?
Satellites cannot orbit the US; they orbit the Earth, and there are several thousand of them.
How many satellites orbit Saturn?
there is no satellites orbiting Saturn
Where do communications satellites orbit?
Communication satellites orbit around the Earth.Communication satellites orbit around the Earth.Communication satellites orbit around the Earth.Communication satellites orbit around the Earth.
Are any man made satellites stationary?
Yes.It is called geosynchronous orbit where the satellite speed equals the rotation of earth but is far enough so gravity doesn't effect its orbit immediately.Weather satellites are geosynchronous as are communication, broadcast (DirecTv and Dish, to name a few), spy, scientific.http://www.spacetoday.org/Satellites/SatBytes/SatOrbits.html
How do communication satellites get into orbit?
Communication satellites are lifted into orbit by rockets.
Is there satellites that orbit mars if so how many?

How many artificial satellites does earth have?
There are hundreds of thousands pieces of man-made material currently in orbit. A few thousand of them are actual useful satellites, things that we want to have up there; stuff like GPS satellites, communications satellites, weather observation stations, the International Space Station, and of course, DirecTV satellites. Most of them are "space junk"; satellites that have failed, or broken, or out of fuel. Old booster rocket engines. Collision debris, from when the Chinese shot down a satellite and smashed it into 100,000 pieces of litter in orbit, or when one of the Iridium satellites crashed into a Russian reconnaissance bird.
