What else can I help you with?
What layer of the atmosphere is satellites located?
If they are in the atmosphere (low earth orbit), satellites are in the ionosphere. If they are in higher orbits, satellites are considered to be outside the atmosphere.
Which layer of the atmosphere do communications satellites orbit?
Most communications satellites operate outside of the earth's atmosphere. The GPS satellites are about 23,000 miles from the surface of the earth.
What layer of the atmosphere has artificial satellites orbiting earth in it?
exosphere
Have any man-made satellites been sent to the planet earth?
Since we live ON the Earth, all satellites WE have sent have been sent FROM the Earth, and circle around it.
The is the layer of the atmosphere where satellites and the space shuttle orbit the Earth?
exosphere
How many artificial satellites circle the earth?
over a thousand artificial satellites. the first artificial satellite was sputnik. the only natural satellite earth has is the moon
What layer of the atmosphere do GPS satellites orbit in?
SatellitesSatellites orbit in outer space, not in the earth. They are sent to outer space where the gravitational pull of the earth pulls them around, just as the earth is pulled around the sun in a similar manner. The layer is the exosphere. It greatly depends on what the satellite is for and who owns it how far up it orbits. Imaging satellites need to be close to the Earth, so they orbit about 130 miles up. Communications satellites are generally at 23,000 miles up. GPS satellites are up about 13,000 miles.
Do the satellites orbit earth in the exosphere?
Satellites orbit Earth in the thermosphere and exosphere, which are the upper layers of the Earth's atmosphere. The exosphere is the outermost layer of the atmosphere where most satellites, particularly those in geostationary orbit, are found.
Why are satellites in the exosphere?
Satellites are located in the exosphere because it is the outermost layer of Earth's atmosphere and provides an ideal environment for satellites to orbit without encountering significant atmospheric drag. This allows satellites to continuously orbit the Earth and perform their intended functions, such as communication, Earth observation, and navigation.
Which type of satellites circle the Earth and provide global information from 540 miles above the Earth?
Polar Orbiting.
In which layer you find satellites and space shuttles?
Satellites and space shuttles are found in the exosphere layer of the Earth's atmosphere. The exosphere extends from an altitude of about 600 km (373 miles) upwards, and is where most man-made satellites orbit the Earth. Space shuttles operate both within and beyond the exosphere during their missions.
Which layer of the atmosphere contains orbiting satellites?
Orbiting satellites are typically found in the thermosphere layer of the atmosphere, which extends from about 80 to 600 kilometers above the Earth's surface. This layer is where the density of gas molecules is low enough for satellites to orbit without experiencing significant atmospheric drag.
