Most satellites occupy regions of the atmosphere known as the thermosphere and exosphere. The outer space refers to the expanse found beyond the Earth's atmosphere between celestial bodie
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.
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.
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.
Most communications satellites operate outside of the earth's atmosphere. The GPS satellites are about 23,000 miles from the surface of the earth.
Satellites are typically found in the exosphere, which is the outermost layer of Earth's atmosphere. This region extends from about 500 km above Earth's surface to beyond 10,000 km. Satellites in low Earth orbit may also traverse the thermosphere and ionosphere.
Satellites around Mars have found evidence of past water flow, ancient river valleys, ice caps, and seasonal changes in the planet's surface. They have also detected methane in the atmosphere and provided valuable data for studying the planet's geology and weather patterns.
Mercury and Venus do not have any natural satellites (Moons).
Satellites are primarily located in space, above the Earth's atmosphere, typically in orbits that range from about 200 kilometers (124 miles) to over 36,000 kilometers (22,236 miles) above the Earth's surface. Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites are found at altitudes between 200 and 2,000 kilometers, while Geostationary satellites are positioned around 36,000 kilometers above the equator, allowing them to match the Earth's rotation. These altitudes are well above the atmosphere, where air resistance would impede their operation.
