What is anything that revolves around a planet called?
Objects such as moons or satellites that revolve around a planet are typically referred to as "natural satellites" or "moons." Artificial satellites placed in orbit around a planet are simply called "satellites."
What is the history of sputnick?
Sputnik is a series of soviet satellites. These satellites are placed from 1957 year.
How does a satelite get into space?
Some natural satellites were created there, but artificial satellites are placed there using rockets.
What were satellites originally made for?
The first artificial satellite that had a particular purpose (other than just for scientific research) was the Echo satellite; a large mylar balloon placed in orbit to reflect radio signals back to the Earth. Now, satellites are used for all kinds of communications; TV, cell phones, overseas phone calls, internet and such; weather satellites that help to predict the weather and track storms, and reconnaissance satellites that take photos of the Earth. Oh; GPS satellites.
Why are there many satellites which move in different directions and speeds which will eventually crashwhy can't they move at the same speed and direction?
Satellites are placed into different orbits to serve various purposes like communication, weather monitoring, and scientific research. Each orbit has specific requirements, and therefore satellites need to move at different speeds and directions to fulfill their designated tasks. Collisions can occur due to the vast number of satellites in space and the complexities of orbital mechanics, making it impractical to have all satellites move at the same speed and direction.
Many statellites are placed in orbit in which layer?
Most satellites are placed in low Earth orbit (LEO), typically ranging from about 180 to 2,000 kilometers above the Earth's surface. This layer is ideal for various applications, including communication, Earth observation, and scientific research, due to its relatively close proximity to the Earth. Some satellites, especially those intended for global communications and weather monitoring, are placed in higher orbits such as geostationary orbit (GEO) at approximately 35,786 kilometers.
What is the name of the Moon's satellites?
The moon has no natural satellites. The moon is a satellite of the earth. The only satellites that orbit the moon are those that are placed there by people to study the moon.
Should there be a limit placed on the number of satellites that are allowed to orbit the earth?
Some experts argue that there should be a limit on the number of satellites to prevent overcrowding and the creation of orbital debris that hinders future space activities. Others believe that strict guidelines and regulations on satellite launches are sufficient to manage the space environment without a specific limit on the number of satellites.
What determines the group an element is placed in?
The number of electrons in the outermost orbital.
Into which orbital would the next electron be placed?
The next electron would be placed in the next available lowest energy orbital according to the aufbau principle, Hund's rule, and the Pauli exclusion principle.
Hellium is placed in group 18 on the periodic table because?
because it is a noble gas and has completely filled orbital (s orbital)
What is the major limitation of solar power?
The major limitation of solar power is that it only works during the day, when there is sunlight, and produces no power at night in the dark. Some people have suggested that we could generate solar power by means of orbital satellites which could be placed in orbits that would expose them to sunlight all the time, and this does get around the problem, although building satellites tends to be expensive.
