What else can I help you with?
Why do you say the moon is a satellite of the earth?
Because it orbits the earth
Which planet has the smallest satellite?
Depends on what you mean by satellite. One could say Earth does as our smallest man-made satellites are far smaller than any large boulders orbiting distant planets. In another school of thought we could say that Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune each likely share a good candidate in their ring systems. It's difficult to say which of those has the smallest natural discovered satellite recognized as a moon by the IAU as many have not been photographed closely in a way to be measured.
Is it correct to say that satellites stay in orbit rather than falling to Earth because they are beyond the pool of Earth's gravity?
No. Satellites ARE falling. But they are also moving "sideways", and so quickly that by the time the satellite has fallen to the Earth, the satellite has continued AROUND the Earth, and missed!
The moon is earths only what?
None. An old textbook might say the answer is Pluto, but this statement is not true for two reasons. First, Pluto is now known to have five moons, with four new ones discovered in 2005, 2011, and 2012. Second, as of 2006 Pluto is no longer considered a planet.
What can you say about the orbit time of a satellite in lower orbit then geostationary one?
Its closer to the earth. Can say much more without know the velocity of the satellites
How do you say satellite in Japanese?
One of the meanings of "eisei" is "satellite." It is pronounced: ay-say.
Is it correct to say that satellites fall back to earth falling to earth because they are beyond the pull of earths gravity explain?
That is not English; that is not physics. Generally speaking, the speed of the satellite and gravity cancel each other. As the satellite slows (friction), gravity wins.
Does the laptop receive signals for a satellite?
For a laptop (or any computer) to receive signals from a satellite you must add a receiver card. This could be external (USB interface) or internal (PCMCIA for a laptop, PCI for a regular PC). The receiver card has to be fed signals from a satellite antenna or a satellite dish with amplifier converter, known as an LNB. You do not say what signal you want from the satellite. You can watch TV or download data using a satellite receiver card, for this you will need a subscription with a satellite ADSL provider, who will also offer you the card and the software.
If a satellite fell to Earth how fast would it be going?
The speed at which a satellite re-enters the Earth's atmosphere can vary, but it typically ranges from 17,000 to 25,000 miles per hour (27,000 to 40,000 kilometers per hour). This high speed is necessary to counteract the pull of gravity and maintain a stable orbit around the Earth.
Given that a satellite signal travels at the speed of light exactly how long does it take for a signal to go from the Earth to a satellite in geosynchronous orbit and back to Earth Show the calculat?
The speed of light is equal to approximately 186,000 miles per second. Geosynchronous-Earth-orbit satellites are found 22,300 miles from Earth and are always positioned over the same point on Earth. The signal has to go to the satellite which is 22,300 miles up, and then back to Earth which is 22,300 miles back. So the total distance traveled is 44,600 miles. To get the amount of time it takes simply do 44,600/186,000 = approximately .23978 seconds. Or you could say 239.78 milliseconds. Hope this helps. JB
How do you say 'i lost satellite' in spanish?
"Perdí señal" is "I lost satellite"
How motion of satellite similar to the motion of an object in freefall?
A satellite is in free fall. When the only force acting upon it is gravity, it reacts freely to this gravity, accelerating towards Earth. That is to say, instead of going in a straight line, the velocity vector changes direction, towards Earth. If the satellite is fast enough to be in orbit, it will never actually fall on Earth; but the velocity vector changes all the time.
