A satelite that orbits between the two poles.


What is the difference between the natural satellite and earth?

A natural satellite is an object that orbits a planet, while Earth is a planet that has its own natural satellite, the Moon. Earth is a celestial body that orbits the Sun, whereas a natural satellite orbits a planet.


What planet number is the moon?

the moon is not a planet. The moon is a natural satelite that orbits the earth. It has no light but it will emit the sun's light at night.


What is a geosintric satellite?

A geosintric satelite is a satelite who's orbetal track on the earth repeats regularly over the earth equator. But techiquely if the satelite lies over the equator its called a geostationary satelite but a geosintric satelite is a type of geostationary satelite.

What is the moon a satellite or a planet?

The moon is indeed a satelite, however it is not a satelite of the Earth but rather the sun. The moon fails the primary requirement to be considered a satelite of the Earth. The moon's mass is affected more by the gravitational pull of the sun than that of the Earth's. The Earth and Luna are a dual planetary system, circling each other.


What position is the moon in the solar system?

The Moon is a satelite of the Earth and the Earth is the 3rd planet out form the Sun in the solar system.


What are the essential condition the for geostationay satellite?

Because of the inverse square law of gravity, an object close to the Earth's surface feels a greater pull than an object further away. This would mean an artificial satelite in an orbit near Earth would have to travel faster to remain in orbit. One further away would travel slower. Close to the earth, a satelite might complete an orbit in, for example, 90 minutes; but the earth rotates once on its axis in 24 hours. This would mean the satelite would always have to travel faster than the Earth spins. Too far away, and the satelite would take longer than a day to orbit the Earth - so the planet would spin faster than the satelite's orbit. For a geostationary satelite, it would need to be at just the right distance, in an orbit that keeps it at the same place as seen from the rotating Earth - orbiting as fast as the Earth is spinning. Geostationary satelites get parked a little over 22,200 miles above the Earth's surface and in orbits the same direction as the Earth spins - and are thus useful for communication and weather functions.
