Best Answer

When you are having a clear sky with stars to be seen, fat chance you can spot a Sattelite between them.

not all sattelites "pass overhead" tough, many are fixed around 1 point in relation to the earth.

They are in most cases to be reconised by a slight but relatively quick flickering.

They are often less bright in the centre.

Are signs of chemical reaction always visible?

NO!!! When neutralising an acid to an alkali , both of which are clear liquids, you do not see always see the product; it may appear to be another clear liquid. e.g. Hydrochloric Acid and Sodium Hydroxide, which are clear liquids produce water a clear liquid and sodium and chloride ions which are not visible. HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) = H2O(l) + Na^+(aq) + Cl^-(aq) What you can see, if an indicator is used, is the change of colour of the indicator. However, a rusting nail (iron) is visible, but it takes days for the appearance to change, from shiny metal to red/brown of rust.
