An orbit in which a satellite travels at the same speed as the earths rotational speed is called?
That's a 'geosynchronous' orbit. If it also happens to be over the equator, so that the satellite appears to stay at the same point in the sky, then it's a 'geostationary' orbit.
How does a rocket get out of earths orbit?
surely a rocket or artificial satellite can get out with help of escape velocity....
What is a polar satellite State two uses of a polar satellite?
a polar satellite is a satellite that travels around the earth passing over both poles with every orbit. they are use for mapping and spying
Where is a satellite when it stays at the same point above earths surface?
That's a "geostationary" satellite. It's roughly 22,000 miles above the equator, in a circular orbit.
Facts about rotation and revolution?
rotation is the spin of a body on its axis and revolution is the motion of a body that travels around another body in space;one complete trip along an orbit

A satellite whose orbit is synchronized with the rotation of the earth?
That is called a geosynchronous orbit.
What is a object that travels in an orbit around earth?
A satellite, or the moon.
What is pogee?
Apogee is the point at which a satellite in an elliptical orbit is At its apogee, the satellite travels slower than at any other point in its orbit.
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.
What are the names of some satellites currently in earths orbit?
Sutnick was the very first Satellite that was put into orbit.=)
What is the name of the satellite whose orbit is synchronized with the rotation of the earth?
Sputnigg Jr
What change would occur if earths rate of rotation significantly decreased?
the orbit
Is the earths axis rotation almost parallel to the plane of its orbit?
No; it's about 23 degrees off the plane of its orbit.
Is the earth's natural satellite the sun?
no, the moon is the Earths natural satellite, the moon is in orbit around the Earth. The whole Earth/Moon system is then in orbit around the sun.
How does a rocket get out of earths orbit?
surely a rocket or artificial satellite can get out with help of escape velocity....
What is a satellite and why is the moon referred to as the earths satellite?
satellites are things that orbit other things in space, for example the moon orbits the earth and is therefore the earth's satellite
