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
The name for a natural satellite of a planet is called "a moon".
A moon is a natural satellite, an object that orbits around a planet that was formed naturally.
If there was any redefining of the definition of a planet, it might be possible for Pluto to become a binary dwarf planet or Earth to become a binary planet. The barycenter for Pluto-Charon is outside both objects. and Earth's Moon is the largest by comparative size for any of the major planets.
The term "moon" would still be appropriate. We are not yet aware of any moons of moons, but it seems likely that one exists somewhere. In our solar system, the most likely candidates would be for Ganymede or Titan to have tiny moons of their own, but none have been detected.
The natural one is the one that was up there all alone until 1957, which everybody can
see in the sky almost every day and night.
The man-made ones are the much smaller ones, that you can hardly see, that have been
going up and coming down since then.
The common terms used are: Moon (Natural satellite), Satellite - artificial.
Artificial: made my humans. Natural: not made by humans.
Satellites are natural bodies that revolve around a planet. Such objects are sometimes called artificial satellites to distinguish them from natural satellites such as the Moon.
The laws of "celestial mechanics" apply to any orbiting objects, whether such an object is natural or artificial. In other words, the orbits follow the same rules. For example:* The orbits will be in the shape of an ellipse (or a circle, which is a special case of an ellipse)
* Close to Earth's surface, the speed will be about 7.9 kilometers per second
* In general, if the distance and the shape of the orbit is the same, an artificial or a natural satellite will move at the same speed.
A moon, as opposed to artificial satellites that we manufacture and place in orbit, like the DirecTV satellite.
it is a natural satellite. An artificial satellite is man made i.e. the international space station
No.
A spacecraft is man-made, artificial.
An artificial satellite or a moon (a natural satellite)
A moon is a natural satellite, as opposed to an artificial satellite, which is a man-made object in orbit.
a satellite, either natural or artificial.
An artificial satellite is a man-made object injected into orbit around another object (The Space Station is an artificial satellite of the Earth). A natural satellite is a "natural" object that orbits around another object (The Moon is a natural satellite of the Earth).
A moon, when referring to a natural rock like satellite, not a man made artificial satellite such as Telstar.
The only NATURAL satellite of the Earth is the Moon. There are more than a thousand artificial satellites of the Earth.
A moon is a natural satellite, as opposed to an artificial satellite, which is a man-made object in orbit.
An artificial satellite or a moon (a natural satellite)
They are both satellites, but the moon is a natural satellite, while satellites are artificial
There are, or were, a number of artificial satellite around it, but nothing natural.
a satellite, either natural or artificial.
A satellite is a body orbiting another like a planet or moon. A natural satelite is not man-made. The moon and other bodies were called this before the artificial, or man-made satellites were ever made like the ISS.
over a thousand artificial satellites. the first artificial satellite was sputnik. the only natural satellite earth has is the moon
An artificial satellite is a man-made object injected into orbit around another object (The Space Station is an artificial satellite of the Earth). A natural satellite is a "natural" object that orbits around another object (The Moon is a natural satellite of the Earth).
A moon, as opposed to artificial satellites that we manufacture and place in orbit, like the DirecTV satellite.
Natural would be like the Moon. Artificial would be man made.
Satellites. They can be natural (a moon) or artificial (space probes). Earth is a satellite of the Sun, the Moon is a satellite of the Earth and the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter is a satellite of the Moon.
