What is a polar orbit used for?

From a polar orbit, a satellite can observe over time anypoint on the globe from directly above it.


What orbit are monitoring satellites put into?

Polar orbit


What orbit would allow a satellite to see all parts of the globe?

A polar orbit or high-inclination orbit. In polar orbit, the satellite passes over the world from pole to pole, while the Earth spins beneath it. Each orbit would cover a different area.


What is polar orbit and geo-stationary orbit?

A satellite in polar orbit passes over the poles.A geosynchronous orbit follows the equator and at such an altitude its orbital period is one day long and remains in the same position relative to the ground.


Some satellites are put into an orbit around the earths poles what is this type of orbit called?

Circum polar satellites.


What is the difference between sun synchronous polar orbit and a synchronous polar orbit?

A synchronous polar orbit satallite crosses the equator at the same time each day while the sun synchronous polar satellite appears in the sky at the same time every few days. the sun synchronous allow for greater temporal and spatial monitoring under same conditions and also have finer resolution as the polar synchronous imagery is at the continental scale.


What type of orbit does a weather satellite have and why?

The polar orbit so that it can measure cold and hot points around the entire earth :)


How many times does polar satellites orbit the earth?

As many times as necessary in order to get the ground map. I am no expert but one orbit from north to south (since this is polar) must depend on the impulse provided by the final kick to put it into polar orbit. TLDR is varies (I believe this is referred to as it's period) try examining various polar sats on file at wiki to see if this is correct. I to would like to know!


Which polar launch vehicle put chandrayaan-1into orbit?

PSLV-C11


Why a polar orbit is not suitable for satellite television?

it is too cold and there is no power lines to get signal


Which orbit would be best for investigating the Arctic and Antarctic?

If the satellite is in an orbit that takes it over the North and South Poles, it will eventually cover all parts of the Earth as the Earth spins beneath it. This kind of orbit is called a polar orbit.


Why are there places on earth that experience polar days and polar nights?

i think because of the Earth's elliptical orbit, less sunlight reaches these places at the aphelion. =)
