You're describing the wavelike line that shows up on the maps at mission control when they
plot the path of the spacecraft that they've just launched.
Try to imagine this:
The satellite is circling the earth at a constant rate ... say one orbit every couple of hours. At the same time,
the earth is rotating under the satellite, one complete spin every 24 hours.
Add these two motions together, and you'll see that a point on the ground ... if it always stays directly UNDER
the satellite ... will trace that 'wave' shape on the ground.
What else can I help you with?
Should satellites fly on people?
No, satellites should not fly on people because they are designed to orbit the Earth or travel through space autonomously. Placing satellites on people would be impractical, dangerous, and inefficient for their intended purpose.
Can airplanes or satellites fly in the thermosphere?
Yes, airplanes cannot fly in the thermosphere due to the extremely low air density at that altitude. Satellites do not fly in the traditional sense but orbit within the thermosphere, taking advantage of the lack of air resistance.
What is the name of the electromagnetic wave use to send signals in satellites?
The electromagnetic wave used to send signals in satellites is called radio waves. These waves have long wavelengths and are able to travel long distances through space without the need for a physical medium.
Why don't satellites fly into space?
Satellites, by definition, are in orbit. Which means that they're circling their host (planet). IF you were to increase their speed enough, they would. (And if you slowed it enough, then they would fall to the ground.)
How low do satellites fly?
Satellites can orbit at different altitudes depending on their purpose. Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites typically orbit from 160 to 2,000 kilometers above the Earth's surface, while geostationary satellites are much higher, at about 35,786 kilometers. Various factors like communication, weather monitoring, or surveillance determine the satellite's optimal orbit.
Should satellites fly on people?
No, satellites should not fly on people because they are designed to orbit the Earth or travel through space autonomously. Placing satellites on people would be impractical, dangerous, and inefficient for their intended purpose.
Are satellites a Transverse or longitudinal wave?
Satellites communicate using electromagnetic waves, which are a type of transverse wave. In a transverse wave, the oscillations of the wave occur perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer. This is in contrast to longitudinal waves, where the oscillations are parallel to the direction of energy transfer. Therefore, satellites utilize transverse waves for communication.
Can airplanes or satellites fly in the thermosphere?
Yes, airplanes cannot fly in the thermosphere due to the extremely low air density at that altitude. Satellites do not fly in the traditional sense but orbit within the thermosphere, taking advantage of the lack of air resistance.
Are satellites in pattern?
no
Is a radio wave mechanical or electromagnetic wave?
Radio waves are electromagnetic. That's how they can get down here from satellites.
How low can satellites fly in the atmosphere?
about 350 miles is where the international space station is.
What is the definition of a hair wave pattern?
The letter "S" defines a wave pattern.
What is the name of the electromagnetic wave use to send signals in satellites?
The electromagnetic wave used to send signals in satellites is called radio waves. These waves have long wavelengths and are able to travel long distances through space without the need for a physical medium.
How many satellites have been to uranus?
100 and there is life on uranus... go check
Define aviation service industry?
simple wave to fly

What type of wave carries signals for radio and television program's?
Communications Satellites ************************ Electro-magnetic waves. Carrier waves.
