Why does Neptune have 13 satellites even though it is not orbited by human made objects?
Well, call me a scientist, satellites are sometimes known as ANYTHING that can orbit a rock, star or planet. So, Neptune does have eleven (or more, who knows) moons. Satellites are usually known as the man-made space telescopes, but they can be anything that orbits. Here, let me explain: Planets: Mercury, Earth, Venus... (you know) Stars: The sun Satellites: The moon, Hubble telescope, and other of Earths satellites
What are the different artificial satellites launched into orbit?
The different artificial satellites launched are Low Earth Orbiting Satellites for Remote sensing, Medium Earth Orbiting Satellites like GPS , Geo Stationary Orbiting Satellites for Communication and Molnia Satellites again for Communication. These are the different artificial Satellite orbiting the Planet Earth.
How many of the orbiting satellites are US satellites?
90000
Does callisto have satellites orbiting it?
No, it does not.
How many satellites orbit Saturn?
there is no satellites orbiting Saturn
How do we see deep into space?
We see deep into space by using optical or radio telescopes, either from the Earth's surface, from satellites orbiting above us, or carried out into space on an unmanned spacecraft.
What are some reasons that we place telescopes on satellites in orbit around the earth instead of building them on the ground?
The atmosphere of the Earth filters out and blocks plenty of radiation from outer space. Thus, telescopes are placed on satellites to glean information from these rays that would otherwise not be able to reach Earth-based telescopes.
How are scientist able to identify the different types of galaxies?
The scientists are able to identify the different types of galaxies by high powered telescopes and by examining the pictures sent by various satellites orbiting the universe.
What happens to old satellites?
Old satellites orbiting near the Earth eventually fall back into the atmosphere and burn. Satellites orbiting farther away stay in orbit indefinitely.
What were the US satellites?
There are over 1000 operational satellites orbiting the Earth, and probably 10,000 pieces of "space junk" also orbiting the Earth.
Are there any satellites orbiting Mercury?
yes
Where do you can find satellites orbiting earth?
the termosphere
