Why do weather satellites orbit closer to the earth than other types?
Those satellites be closer to earth than other satellites because then it can find out about earth's weather because if it's close to earth then it get in the way of weather so it can send message about the weather faster than others
How do man made satillites orbit earth?
Man-made satellites orbit Earth by achieving a balance between gravitational pull and their forward momentum. When a satellite is launched, it is accelerated to a high speed, allowing it to enter a trajectory where the curvature of its path matches the curvature of the Earth. This creates a stable orbit, where the satellite continuously falls towards Earth due to gravity but also moves forward fast enough to keep missing it. The altitude and speed determine the type of orbit, such as low Earth orbit (LEO) or geostationary orbit.
Are dwarf planets satillites?
They are satellites of our sun, as with the eight major planets. They orbit the sun directly.
Space orbiting telescopes are found where?
Usually orbiting Earth, that is, in an orbit around Earth, but fairly close to Earth - a few 100 km. distance from Earth's surface, at most.Usually orbiting Earth, that is, in an orbit around Earth, but fairly close to Earth - a few 100 km. distance from Earth's surface, at most.Usually orbiting Earth, that is, in an orbit around Earth, but fairly close to Earth - a few 100 km. distance from Earth's surface, at most.Usually orbiting Earth, that is, in an orbit around Earth, but fairly close to Earth - a few 100 km. distance from Earth's surface, at most.
LEO satellites orbit the Earth with an altitude as low as miles?
A low Earth orbit (LEO) is an orbit around Earth as low as 100 miles and up to 1,240 miles close to the Earth's poles.
Which ellipse resembles earth's orbit?
Earth's orbit around the sun is best represented by an ellipse with a very small eccentricity, which means it is almost a perfect circle. The eccentricity of Earth's orbit is about 0.0167, making it very close to a circular shape.
What are two types of satellites that orbit the earth?
weather and spy satalites
What is an orbit that is within the outermost part of Earth's atmosphere?
An orbit within the outermost part of Earth's atmosphere is known as a Low Earth Orbit (LEO). Satellites in LEO typically orbit between 160 and 2,000 kilometers above the Earth's surface. These orbits are commonly used for communication, weather observation, and Earth monitoring satellites.
What type of orbit does a weather satellite have and why?
The polar orbit so that it can measure cold and hot points around the entire earth :)
How does the moon stay close to earth?
The moon stays close to Earth due to gravity. The gravitational force between Earth and the moon keeps them in orbit around each other. This balance of gravitational forces prevents the moon from drifting away from Earth.
Is earth's orbit around the sun circular?
Not completely, however very close.
Time it takes to orbit the earth?
It depends on how close you are in your orbit. The international space station is about as close as you can get in free fall orbit, orbiting once every hour and a half or so. As you go further out the time taken increases. The moon is quite far out, orbiting earth once a month.
