They take pictures, transmit the data back to earth or are recovered, then people compile the data and get one "big" picture of most or all of the surface of the earth.

What type of equipment is sent from earth to distant parts of the solar system?

The equipment that is sent from earth to distant parts of our solar system is satellites.


What are the 2 orbits of satellites?

Artificial and natural satellites. Artificial satellites are man-made satellites sent into space for a variety of different purposes e.g. taking pictures of the earth for scientific investigation Natural satellites are moons, which orbit planets and are not man-made.


What are earth's artificial sateillites?

Artificial satellites orbiting Earth are man-made objects launched into space for various purposes such as communication, weather monitoring, navigation, and scientific research. They can be either in geostationary or low Earth orbit, and examples include the Hubble Space Telescope, GPS satellites, and communications satellites.


Where are the space satellites located in space?

Space satellites are typically located in different orbits around Earth, depending on their purpose. Some satellites are in low Earth orbit (LEO) at altitudes around 400-1,200 km, while others are in medium Earth orbit (MEO) or geostationary orbit (GEO) at altitudes of around 20,000 km and 36,000 km, respectively. Additionally, there are satellites in higher orbits for specific functions, such as those used for deep space exploration.


How can horizon prove that the earth is round?

Horizon observation: If you observe a ship sailing away, you will notice that its hull disappears before the top of the mast, indicating the curvature of the Earth. Satellites: Images from satellites show the Earth as a spherical shape. Space travel: Astronauts have viewed the Earth from space and confirmed its roundness.

Have any man-made satellites been sent to the planet earth?

Since we live ON the Earth, all satellites WE have sent have been sent FROM the Earth, and circle around it.


How did satellites improve?

The satellites are sent into outer space by rockets. They revolve around the Earth. Signals are sent up to the satellites which transmit them back to Earth, covering a much larger area in the process. It is because these satellites that you can see events such as cricket matches being played in England or West Indies live on your television. Telephone and computer signals are also sent to other countries through satellites.


What is differences between space satellite and earth satellite?

A space satellite is any man-made object that orbits Earth or another celestial body, while an Earth satellite specifically orbits Earth. Additionally, space satellites can include artificial satellites launched into space for various purposes, while Earth satellites can refer to natural objects like the Moon that orbit our planet.


How are pictures from space sent to earth?

If you have a dish for your TV service then you're getting a television feed via a satellite feed. Likewise, digital imagery is sent from earth orbiting or deep-space satellites to ground stations for processing. For example, GeoEye and DigitalGlobe have a constellation of satellites that takes pictures of earth that are processed to display on Google Earth and Google Maps.


Data is sent to earth from satellites using what type of numbers?

Data is sent to earth from satellites using TIROS. This is data given from the ground.

Do people into outer space with the satellites?

most of the time, a space shuttle is sent unmanned to space with the satellite on the top of the shuttle. Then they send the sattelite further into space for good precision on the Earth, or other planets.

What are Geo - stationary orbit satellites?

Geo stationary satellites are man made objects sent up into space that orbit the Earth parallel with and in the plane of the equator. They are sent up into space so that their distance from the Earth and hence their orbital speed matches the speed with which the Earth rotates on its axis. This means that they maintain a constant "stationary" position over a point on the equator of the planet. This is useful for communications and earth observation purposes.
