Does a satellite use light energy?

Of course it uses solar energy. There are solar panels in a satellite.


What types of energy does a satellite use?

radio waves


Can a satellite use light energy?

Yes, most are powered by solar panels.


How does the communication satellite get power?

Satellites are usually fitted with a re-chargeable battery, and solar panels. The solar panels absorb energy from the sun, and the batteries store the energy for use by the satellite.


How do you give velocity for the satellite which rotates in the orbit with what energy it will travel?

You give velocity to a satellite through rockets. The rockets use some powerful fuel - for example, a mix of hydrogen and oxygen - to push them into orbit.


Why does the mass of satellite's have to be small?

It costs a lot of energy (and therefore money) to put a massive object into detail. The amount of energy depends directly on the satellite's mass.


What powers a satellite?

solar energy from solar panels :) ;)


Why a satellite is to be transferred to an orbit of larger radius energy is to be supplied to the satellite?

Object further away from gravitation center has higher potential energy. Therefore work(energy expense) must be done to put it there.


The potential energy of a satellite in an elliptical orbit is?

The total energy of a satellite doesn't change. At its closest approach to the planet, it has the most kinetic energy and the least potential, whereas at its furthest retreat from the planet, it has the least kinetic energy and the most potential. But their sum ... the satellite's total mechanical energy ... is always the same. (It may gain heat energy when the sun is shining directly on it, and lose it when it's in the planet's cold shadow, but neither of those changes affects its orbit.)


What are the wings on a satellite use for?

The wings have solar panels on them so they collect the suns energy to power it. and they keep it steady. ur welcome (l:l)


How much power does a weather satellite use?

This answerwas kindly provided via email from bySten Odenwald, an astronomer with NASA. A Satellite uses 5,000 Watts of energy, the equivalent of 50 - 100 Watt light bulbs.
