Yes, that is often possible. Preferably go to an area without streetlights and watch the sky. You will soon see fast moving shiny objects. These are satellites.

How can you see artificial satellite by naked eye which is 300 Kms away from earth?

Artificial satellites can be seen with the naked eye when they reflect sunlight. The best time to see them is typically during dusk or dawn when the sun is below the horizon but the satellite is still illuminated. Satellites appear as moving points of light against the night sky.


Can you see a satellite in the sky at night?

Yes, some are visible. The Space Station is one of them.


Can you see a satellite during the day?

From Earth, a satellite would look like a speck of light moving slowly across the sky. Different satellites orbit different distances from the Earth, so the size of the speck varies. In some artificial bodies, such as the International Space Station, it is sometimes possible to make out a few features.Check the related link (Heavens-Above) for a site what will give you the times various satellites will pass over your area at night.


I can see satellite with telescope?

While it is technically possible to spot satellites with a telescope, it can be challenging due to the fast speeds at which satellites orbit the Earth. You would need a telescope with a high magnification power, precise tracking capabilities, and clear viewing conditions to have a chance of spotting a satellite. It's recommended to use resources like satellite tracking websites or apps to help locate satellites in the sky.

Person sitting in an artificial satellite of the earth have?

A person in an artificial satellite around Earth would experience weightlessness due to the constant freefall towards Earth. They would also see the Earth rotating beneath them, experiencing multiple sunrises and sunsets in a single day. Additionally, they would be shielded from Earth's atmosphere and be able to see the curvature of the planet.


What makes us not see stars at night?

Drastic weather conditions and also light pollution. Extreme exposure to artificial light will slow down your dark adaptation which is getting used to the night sky after staying in a room with artificial light.


Is it possible to see a lake in the night sky?

Well it depends if the moon is out. If it is out you can see the moons reflection in the lake. If it is a moonless night you can not see it unless you have a light source.


Is the moon a natural or artificial satellite?

Natural Satellites •They formed naturally •We perceive information from them •We have no control over them •Naturally orbit a planet •Cannot be used as a weapon •Influences nature eg waves etc •Has no life expectancy Man made satellites •Humans made them and put them there •They feed information directly to us •We control the satellites and can choose the type of information given to us from them •Go anywhere we choose to send them •Can be intentionally used as a weapon by humans •Sends transmissions to Earth •Has a limited and known life expectancy
