What is the large satellite which orbit earth?
The only natural satellite that orbits the Earth is the Moon.
Is The moon the earths closest star?
The moon is not a star. It is a large ball of rock that orbits Earth as a satellite. A star is a huge ball of burning gas. Our star is called The Sun.
What is an object that's moves around a large object?
Astronomically speaking, an object that orbits a larger object is a satellite. I.E. the moon is the earth's satellit
A large object that's orbits a planet is call a?
Anything that orbits a planet is called a satellite. There are 2 types: artificial (the ones we make take the old Sputnik for example) and natural (the Moon)
Why is the moon called a satellite?
The word "satellite" was in use long before being used to mean "scientific machines orbiting the Earth." It was used for the natural satellites (moons) of planets, for countries in eastern Europe that were dominated by the USSR, and for such things as smaller airport terminals separate from the main one (as in Seattle).Most people now use "satellite" to mean manmade satellites, and use the adjective "natural" when they are talking about moons, or "the Moon." The astronomical definition of a moon or satellite is a substantially smaller body that orbits a larger one. All satellites of planets also orbit the Sun at the same time, but they are considered separately from the asteroids and minor objects that do not orbit a planet but rather circle the Sun on their own.
Earth is orbited by a large what?
Earth is orbited by a large natural satellite known as the Moon.
How long does it take Mars orbit the Earth?
It does no such thing. Mars orbits the sun. The only large object that orbits the Earth is the Moon.
What does it mean when your teacher asks what is a satellite on a planet?
any large object that orbits around the planet or AKA moon
What a large body that orbits a star called?
Well by large bodies you mean planets, so its Mercury,venus, saturn, earth uranius,neptune,mars,jupiter.
What are the main features of geo stationary orbits?
Geostationary orbits are circular orbits located approximately 35,786 kilometers above the Earth's equator, where a satellite's orbital period matches the Earth's rotation period of about 24 hours. This allows the satellite to remain fixed over a specific point on the Earth's surface, providing consistent communication or observation capabilities. Key features include a constant position relative to the Earth, minimal relative motion, and coverage of a large area of the planet, making them ideal for telecommunications and weather monitoring. Additionally, the orbit must be inclined at zero degrees to maintain this stationary position.
What is an large space rock that orbits the sun called?
A large space rock that orbits the Sun is called an asteroid. Asteroids are primarily found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, but they can also be located throughout the solar system. They vary in size, composition, and shape, and some are considered potentially hazardous to Earth if their orbits bring them close to our planet.
What is an artificial satillite?
Anything manmade that orbits a large body (such as the earth)
