In what century satellite proved earth was a sphere?
The moon is a satellite. Greeks in the 3rd century BCE noticed the earth's shadow across the moon during lunar eclipses was round, indicating the earth was spherical in shape. In the 20th century the first artificial satellite, Sputnik, orbited the earth in about 90 minutes.
If a spherical satellite in geostationary orbit over the equator could be seen from Earth would it have phases like the moon?
Yes.Yes.Yes.Yes.
How does this demonstrate that earth is spherical?
WHAT demonstrates that the Earth is spherical?!
Why a satellite in a polar orbit traces a curved path over the surface of Earth?
A satellite in a polar orbit traces a curved path over the Earth's surface due to the rotation of the Earth beneath it. As the satellite moves in its orbit from pole to pole, the Earth rotates, causing the satellite's ground track to appear as a series of curved lines. This effect is a result of the Earth's spherical shape and rotation, which means that while the satellite follows a straight line in space, the surface of the Earth is moving underneath it. Consequently, the satellite covers different longitudinal positions as it orbits, creating a curved trajectory relative to the Earth's surface.
Why do you think the earth is not flat?
The earth is not flat because there is overwhelming evidence from science, including satellite images, GPS technology, and the way ships disappear over the horizon, that clearly demonstrates the earth is a spherical shape. Additionally, the laws of physics and gravity support the idea of a spherical earth.
Where do you find that the earth is spherical?
The Earth isn't actually perfectly spherical. It is slightly flattened at the poles. To find evidence of Earth's round shape, pictures taken from space are good secondary data to provide evidence.
Is the earth really spherical?
The Earth is almost spherical. It's slightly squashed, or oblate.
Is the moon a satellite of earth?
Yes, the moon is a natural satellite of the Earth.
Who was the first to claim that the earth is ellipsoid not spherical?
Newton was first claim that the earth is ellipsoid instead of spherical...
Why is the satellite part of the earth?
The Moon is the satellite of the earth
3 reasons why the earth is round?
The curvature of the Earth can be observed through the way ships disappear over the horizon. The Earth's shadow on the moon during a lunar eclipse is curved, indicating a spherical shape. Satellite images show a round Earth with consistent curvature across the globe.
What is a satillite called when it orbits the earth?
The definition of a satellite be it man made or natural is, a body that orbits the parent. The earth is a satellite of the sun, the moon is a satellite of the earth ans so are all the man made ones we put in space.
