What is the earth period rotation and revolution?
The Earth rotates on its axis once a day and revolves around the Sun once a year.
What planet has a rotational period closest to Earth's?
Mars -- it takes 24 hours, 39 minutes, and 35.244 seconds for a complete rotation.
A constellations changing position in the sky at the same time of the evening over a period of several weeks is evidence that what?
Earth's rotation around the Sun.
What is the spinning of earth on its axis?
rotation...rotation.
The earth is undergoing a combination of how many different major motions?
I guess that's: 1. Rotation on its axis (About 24hrs period). 2. Orbital rotation around the Sun (1 year period). 3. Orbital rotation around the center of our Milky Way Galaxy's centre (1 cosmic year period). 4. Movement within the Local Group of galaxies. 5. Moving along with the expansion of the Universe. Probably this question is mainly about numbers 1 and 2. So the answer is "two". It's possible that you could include the "precession" of the Earth's axis also, as a major motion.
What is the Sidereal Period of a geostationary satellite?
23hours 56minutes 4seconds (rounded)
Which satellite used for telecommunication?
Geostationary satellite
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.
First Indian satellite in geostationary satellite was?
Aryabhatta
Why doesnt a geostationary satellite trace a path over the surface of the earth?
A geostationary satellite does not trace a path over the surface of the earth because that is what geostationary means - the satellite is stationary over a point on the Earth.
In what type of orbit does a satellite follow the direction of the earths rotation seeming to hover over one spot on the equator?
Synchronous orbitThis is where an orbiting body (moon) has a period equal to the average rotational period of the body being orbited (planet), and in the same direction of rotation as that body.
A satellite communication system why is the geostationary orbit preferred?
A geostationary orbit will keep the satellite in one area relative to the surface
How can you tell that a satellite is in geostationary?
Watch the satellite, with either a telescope or a very highly directional radio antenna. An observation period of twelve hours will be long enough to answer the question. If the satellite appears to move in the sky by more than a few tenths of a degree during that time, then it is not in geostationary orbit.
How far above the earth is geostationary orbit?
Geostationary satellites are in an orbit that's 22,282 mi (35,786 km) above the surface of the Earth. For more on Geostationary satellite orbits, visit http://www.idirect.net/Company/Satellite-Basics/How-Satellite-Works.aspx
How does a geostationary satellite work?
they fly in air
Does a satellite in a geostationary orbit move across the sky from east to west?
No. A geostationary satellite appears to be stationary in the sky, which means not moving. This is a big part of the reason why it is referred to as a geo'stationary' satellite.
A geostationary satellite appears standstill to a viewer on the equator of earth?
A geostationary satellite appears to stand still to a viewer anywhere on the earth, not just on the equator.
