What are the benefits of using gps vs regular weather satellites?
GPS satellites are used to help us accurately determine the current time and our location. GPS satellites are not directly used to help us predict the weather. Weather satellites use many imaging and sensing technologies to help us predict the weather, but they are not useful in helping us determine our location. They are two different types of satellites with two different purposes. There are many other types of satellites too, such as communication satellites (such as used with Direct TV), space telescopes (such as Hubble) etc.
How many artificial satellites does earth have?
There are hundreds of thousands pieces of man-made material currently in orbit. A few thousand of them are actual useful satellites, things that we want to have up there; stuff like GPS satellites, communications satellites, weather observation stations, the International Space Station, and of course, DirecTV satellites. Most of them are "space junk"; satellites that have failed, or broken, or out of fuel. Old booster rocket engines. Collision debris, from when the Chinese shot down a satellite and smashed it into 100,000 pieces of litter in orbit, or when one of the Iridium satellites crashed into a Russian reconnaissance bird.

Why do meteorologists use a radar?
RADAR stands for RAdio Detection And Ranging. It can detect anything that will reflect its radio pusles. It is used to monitor airspace around airports, locate and track satellites in space, monitor atmospheric water density for weather stations... Many very useful functions.
Why are satellites useful in areas that are affected by hurricanes?
Weather satellites allow weather forecasters to track the development of hurricanes, other storms, and flooding patterns. This information allows forecasters to warn residents of the potential dangers.
Why are satellites useful in predicting weather?
i dont know thats why i am asking you
Are hurricanes useful?
yes they sometimes are because they help some countries harvest their crops that are affected by droughts.
Are there more scientific or applications satellites?
Applications satellites, like weather satellites, communications satellites (TV, Cell phone, internet), military observation birds, reconnaissance satellites and other "useful" things predominate. Purely scientific satellites such as the Hubble Space Telescope are in the minority.
What are the two types of weather satellites?
The two main types of weather satellites are geostationary and polar-orbiting satellites. Geostationary satellites orbit the Earth at a fixed position, allowing them to continuously monitor the same area, which is ideal for real-time weather observation and tracking. Polar-orbiting satellites, on the other hand, orbit the Earth from pole to pole, providing comprehensive coverage of the entire planet over time, which is useful for global weather data collection and climate monitoring.
Why do weather satillites orbit close to earth?
If they were too far out, then they would not be very useful as weather satellites, because they would orbit too slowly, and they would be too far away to make out the weather.

How did sputnik improve our daily lives?
The sputniks themselves - not much. They were rather crude devices with a limited ability. But they proved that we could build stuff that worked in space, and launch them there. This opened the road for space exploration, and the more widely useful satellites like weather satellites, Communications satellites, satellite television satellite navigation and such.
Can the chaos theory predict hurricanes?
No; chaos theory is more useful to explain why hurricanes CANNOT be predicted.
Is a weather satellite polar orbit?
Yes, many weather satellites are in polar orbits. A polar orbit allows the satellite to pass over the Earth's poles, enabling it to cover the entire surface of the planet over time as the Earth rotates beneath it. This is particularly useful for monitoring weather patterns and changes across different regions. However, some weather satellites may also be in geostationary orbits, which provide continuous coverage of specific areas.
