How are satellites held in orbit around Earth?
the atmosphere of gravity pulls it.
What layer of the atmosphere is satellites located?
If they are in the atmosphere (low earth orbit), satellites are in the ionosphere. If they are in higher orbits, satellites are considered to be outside the atmosphere.
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.
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.
What atmosphere is on earth?
The Region of the Earth's atmosphere is the Homosphere.
What region is on earths atmosphere?
The Region of the Earth's atmosphere is the Homosphere.
Which atmosphere are satellites found in?
Low earth orbit (LEO) satellites are defined as any artificial object between 160 km and 2000 km altitude. Any satellite from 160 km to 690km are in the Thermosphere.Any satellite in the region between 690km to 10,000 kmaltitude are in the Exosphere.10,000 km is considered the very top of the atmosphere. Any satellites above this altitude is not considered in the atmosphere. Geostationary satellites for example are at an altitude of 35,786 km.
What layer of the atmosphere has artificial satellites orbiting earth in it?
exosphere
What are natural and artificial satellites?
Natural satellites are organic objects that orbit the earth such as the moon. Artificial satellites are objects humans propel through the earth's atmosphere in order to orbit the earth such as satellites for TV and radio signals.
In what region of the Earth's atmosphere do Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites fly?
Anything up to 2000 km (1240 miles) above sea level. Low earth orbiting satellites can suffer from atmospheric drag at very low altitudes, although there is little gas around at their orbit, there may still be enough to slow the satellite and cause it's orbit to decay. The lowest satellites would be around 300km in altitude, but would not be able to sustain orbit without an occasional boost.
What carries instruments that collect information about earth's surface and atmosphere?
satellites
The is the layer of the atmosphere where satellites and the space shuttle orbit the Earth?
exosphere
