Which factor would most likely cause communications satellite orbiting earth to return to earth from its orbit?

That will happen if the satellite loses energy. This is usually caused by air resistance, if the satellite's orbit is too low.

What does a gps transmitor look like?
A GPS transmitter is located in a global positioning satellite orbiting about 11,000 miles above the earth's surface.The transmitter most likely is a grey or aluminum box with wires coming in and out.
Do other planets orbiting stars have seasons or eclipses?
Its most likely that they do. Any planet with an axial tilt will have seasons throughout its orbit. Eclipses of orbiting moons are also likely to occur on these exoplanets, though it would be rare to find an orbiting moon that is almost the same apparent size as the star - as with Earth.
What is nearest to the Sun?
The closest known orbiting body to the Sun is the planet Mercury. Smaller bodies passing closer would likely have unstable orbits.
Which factor characteristic of cities most likely led to this adaptation?
noise pollution
Which cellular structure in the green plants is likely a contributing factor to the increase in pH?
chloroplasts
Why doesn't Merucry have any moons?
The planet Mercury is extremely close to the sun. Any satellite or moon orbiting Mercury would likely be drawn into the sun.
More massive planets have more satellites why?
More massive planets have more gravitational pull. If a satellite were to pass by Earth and Jupiter at the same distance from each planet, the satellite would be more attracted to start orbiting Jupiter because of its pull. The more massive a planet is the more likely it is to get a satellite to orbit it.
A wave travels through space on its way to a communications satellite. What kind of wave is it most likely to be?
The wave making the trip to the communications satellite will be a radio wave, which is an electromagnetic wave. Electromagnetic waves can move through the vacuum of space because they do not need a medium in which to travel. We usually use the microwave band of frequencies to communicate with satellites.
Is microwave media is faster than satellite?
Your communications with a satellite are by the use of microwaves. High frequency em waves.The distance to your local transmitter will most likely be much less than to a satellite, and transit delays will be shorter.The speed of the comms media is essentially at the speed of light - the only difference is the distance.

The place where electrons are likely to be found is?
Orbiting the atom.

What best determines if a planet orbiting a sun is likely to have life on it?
Water,carbon oxygen
How do you spell asroid?
The likely word is "asteroid" (an orbiting object smaller than a planet).
It likely to be the dictionary definition of moon?
The natural satellite of a planet.
What kind of satellite would most likely be used to gather information about the effects of pollution in south America rain forest?
They would most likely use a Earth Observing Satellite.
Why dish tv doesn't work in rainy season?
Satellite television is broadcast from a satellite orbiting above the equator. Anything in its path can reduce the level that is received at the receiver. If your reception seems to drop off even when there is no visible weather problem (look at the clouds) and happens often, look a different problem. This is often a tree that has grown and has leaves in the path from the dish to the satellite. If this isn't obvious, call Dish Netowrk to get the dish checked. Most likely it has shifted enpough that you are only getting a marginal signal and it needs to be re-adjusted.
