How do satellites help us?
Natural satellites, we only have one - the Moon - helps us by providing a bit of moonlight at night, and also plays a role in stabilising the Earth on its axis. Artificial satellites helps us with navigation, communication, weather forecasts, pictures of the Earth and surveying.
Moons and satellites in earth?
earth has one moon, the moon.
What names five artificial satellites that are orbing the earth?
Five artificial satellites that are orbiting the earth are ACRIMSAT, HAMSAT, OSCAR 3, PicoSAT and RADARSAT. There are scores of satellites that orbit the Earth for one reason or another.
What is Earth's three satellites called?
The planet Earth upon which we live has precisely one natural satellite, which is known as the moon, or Luna, and it has a great many artificial satellites, including the International Space Station, communication satellites, surveillance satellites, global positioning satellites, etc.
The planet with the most satellites?
Earth. Earth has one natural satellite, the moon, which is in orbit around the earth. There are around 3000 man made satellites currently in orbit. Jupiter has the most natural satellites (moons), over 60 have been confirmed. It has no man made satellites in orbit around it, but did have one between 1995 and 2003, an orbiter called Galileo.

Does the earth have two satellites or Mars?
Mars has two natural satellites. Earth has one.
What are satellies used for?
artificial satellites are used for scientists to study planets and take pictures and learn about space. natural satellites are just pretty much there, they rotate the planets just like our planets rotate the sun. the moon is one of earth's natural satellites.
Is the earth a satelite?
The Earth is one of the Sun's satellites.
Are earth satellites only scientific satellites?
No. The earth has one natural satellite ... the moon ... and any number of other satellites whose primary purpose is not scientific (e.g. communication satellites).
Moons and satellites in earth?

Does the Earth have more natural or more artificial satellites?

Why are many satellites geo stationary?
Because they only need to transmit to certain parts of the planet. TV relay satellites for example - need to stay in one place to beam the pictures back to earth. If they orbited the earth, the signal would be lost as it crossed the horizon. Another example is the global GPS system. The satellites that provide the information for GPS must remain in one place - otherwise they wouldn't give accurate information to the user.
What is isochronous satellites?
An isochronous satellite is one that orbits the earth in one day. So it orbits the earth as the same speed as the earth rotates. Most satellites that are isochronous are infact geostationary satellites as they also stay in the same position above the earth. However these satellites occupy a very specific orbit above the equator. It is possible to have isochronous satellites that aren't geostationary however getting them to remain in orbit would prove difficult.
Does earth have any satellites?
There is one natural satellite (The Moon) and thousand are artificial satellites launched by various countries.
