What else can I help you with?
What kind of an orbit is use by direct tv satellites?
Geosynchronous Orbit
What are natural and artificial satellites?
Natural satellites are organic objects that orbit the earth such as the moon. Artificial satellites are objects humans propel through the earth's atmosphere in order to orbit the earth such as satellites for TV and radio signals.
Examples of artificial satellites?
First was sputnik, but anything from the Direct TV and XM radio satellites and telecommunication, GPS to the International Space Station are artificial satellites in Earth Orbit. There are artificial satellites currently in orbit around other planets as well.
What are natural satellites called that orbit the sun?
no satellites rotate around the sun!
What is the name of the orbit that allows satellites to orbit the earth but yet appear stationary?
The Earth orbit in which satellites appear to be stationary is called the, "Geostationary Orbit". Some call it a synchronous orbit.
What do you call satellites that orbit various planets?
Those are called planetary satellites or natural satellites. Each planet has its own set of natural satellites that orbit around it.
Where do communications satellites orbit?
Communication satellites orbit around the Earth.Communication satellites orbit around the Earth.Communication satellites orbit around the Earth.Communication satellites orbit around the Earth.
What do you call the bodies either natural or artificial the orbit a planet or a moon?
Bodies that orbit planets or moons are called satellites.
Natural or artificial bodies that orbit larger celestial bodies such as planets are called?
satellites
Were do all of the TV satellites go when there in space?
All of the TV satellites, and most of the weather ones, are at different spots on a big circular orbit, directly over the equator and about 22,200 miles above it.
Do all satellites orbit the same direction?
No, all satellites do not orbit Earth at the same altitude. An good overview of this can be found on http://www.idirect.net/Company/Satellite-Basics/How-Satellite-Works.aspx. This overview reviews Low Earth Orbit, Medium Earth Orbit and Geostationary Orbits.
What are the orbital communications satellites are placed in called?
Geosynchronous orbit? or Low Earth Orbit?
