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.
From earth one satellite appears to overtake another the faster satellite is?
Lower. The higher a satellite is, the more stationary it appears. for a satellite close to Earth, the period is a matter of hours, but for a satellite farther away, days.
What is the Position of planet defined by angular distance from last perihelion called?
An anomaly refers to the position of a planet or satellite that is defined by its angular distance from its last perihelion. It is considered an irregularity in the motion of a planet or satellite.
What type of satellite orbits the Earth at the same rate and in the same direction as the planet?
A Geosynchronous or Geostationary satellite. The orbit period of a satellite will be longer the further it is away from the planet, so these have to be quite far away to match the rotation period of the earth. They orbit the earth once every 24 hours, so stay in the same apparent position when 'seen' from earth. This means that satellite dishes receiving signals from it can remain still, pointing in one direction rather than having to track it across the sky - a big advantage.
What do you call the period of time it takes a planet to revolve one time?
The time it takes a planet or satellite to revolve once is called its day.
What is angle period of satellite?
The angle of the satellite period, depends on where the satellite is positioned. When you figure out where the satellite is you position the angle to be where and what you need.
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.
When a satellite is placed into a higher orbit what happens to its period?
Its period increases
What is the rotation period of geostationary satellite?
24 hours
From earth one satellite appears to overtake another the faster satellite is?
Lower. The higher a satellite is, the more stationary it appears. for a satellite close to Earth, the period is a matter of hours, but for a satellite farther away, days.
What happens to the satellite if its life period is over?
i think it might shut down. if its a space satellite it will shut down and float away.
Does 90482 Orcus have a moon?
Yes, it has a satellite 220 km in diameter, the orbital period is still unknown. The satellite's name is Vanth.
Can a pendulum vibrate in an artificial satellite?
No because its time period is infinity
What is the Sidereal Period of a geostationary satellite?
23hours 56minutes 4seconds (rounded)
Low Earth orbit satellite period of revolution?
umm if my calculations are correct the period of a low earth orbit (LEO) is approximately 40000000000069 years. as extrapolated from Kepler's equation.
The style of historical period is define by?
The style of the historical period is defined by the movement,school and group.
How does Google latitude work?
Google Latitude works by satellite's in the space. It defines the latitudes that can be defined all over earth.
