Is the earth getting lighter with extracting oil minerals ect?
A very small amount of the atmosphere is being carried away into space as the Earth revolves around the sun. Solar winds can cause this and the Earth is getting lighter, but it is not noticeable. Also, satellites and rockets that are launched into space lower the Earth's mass. Most of the satellites orbiting the Earth will eventually fall back into the atmosphere, but probes, mars rovers, and the moon landing sites will never return to Earth. Extracted oil minerals are used as a fossil fuel and a gas is released as a byproduct so I suppose that gas ads to the small amount of atmosphere leaking into space. Again, this is so very gradual that it is unnoticeable.
What is the most strongest country on earth?
The United States
What country has the most land dencity or The most solid earth?
The country with the highest land density would probably be an island country, with the most recent volcanic origin.
When viewed from the north all planets revolve around the sun Most of them rotate in this sense and have most of their satellites revolve in this sense as well?
counterclockwise counterclockwisethe sun has a gravitational pull, and this force makes the earth orbit it.
Which temperature measuring method most accurately measures global warming?
Orbiting weather satellites :Since about 1979, each day satellites measure the temperature over about 80% of the globe to an accuracy of about 0.1 degree C. Weather balloons only make measurements at specific locations that are concentrated mostly over land, The real signature of greenhouse warming is not surface temperature but temperature in the middle of the troposphere, about 5 kilometers up.
What happened to sputnik after orbiting earth?
Sputnik was a family name for a series of satellites, most of which burned up during reentry after some time in orbit.
What are the practical applications for circular motion?
a washing machine, electrons orbiting in an atom, and the most important is satellites revolving around earth.
What is the most famouse earth-orbiting satellite?
I would have to say the Moon, but there are many famous satellites that orbit Earth (Hubble, the International Space Station, Chandra X-ray Observatory, etc.)
What is an important information-gathering satellite now in orbit around earth called?
There are a great number of satellites currently orbiting the Earth, and they are ALL important; at least, important enough to SOMEBODY to spend millions of dollars to launch each one.Depending on your interests, the "most important" satellites are probably the weather forecasting satellites, followed by the communications and GPS satellites.
What are examples of satellites?
Most moons orbiting the various planets of our solar system are considered "satellites" - more specifically, "natural satellites". In addition, the more general use applies to the various space modules, etc., orbiting around the earth or around other planets of the solar system. As they are the result of human device, they are considered, "artificial Satellites". Sputnik 1, as the very first of these, acts as prime example.
What technological advancement benefited the most from Newton's contributions?
space exploration and orbiting satellites
What is the most common way trig is used in everyday life?
Global Positioning Systems (GPS) use trigonometry. There are a number of satellites orbiting the earth. The GPS uses the time signals sent by these satellites to establish the distance to the satellites. Trigonometry is then used to find the location of the GPS unit.
Which planet has most satellites?
earth
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.
Space orbiting telescopes are found where?
Usually orbiting Earth, that is, in an orbit around Earth, but fairly close to Earth - a few 100 km. distance from Earth's surface, at most.Usually orbiting Earth, that is, in an orbit around Earth, but fairly close to Earth - a few 100 km. distance from Earth's surface, at most.Usually orbiting Earth, that is, in an orbit around Earth, but fairly close to Earth - a few 100 km. distance from Earth's surface, at most.Usually orbiting Earth, that is, in an orbit around Earth, but fairly close to Earth - a few 100 km. distance from Earth's surface, at most.
Why does a satellite travel over different parts of the earth?
Because most satellites are not 'geostationary'. A geostationary satellite orbits the Earth at the same speed that the Earth spins on its axis - such as the GPS grid, or TV relay satellites. Most satellites travel faster or slower than the Earth spins.
What planet has with the most neutral satellites?
You probably mean to ask about natural satellites as opposed to artificial satellites. In terms of neutrality, all satellites are neutral. In any event, the planet Jupiter has the most natural satellites, of any planet in our solar system. The planet Earth has the most artificial satellites.
