Why is it valuable for more than one Landsat to be orbiting earth at the same time?
It's important that more than one Landsat satellite because one satellite can orbit the whole earth so if more come than it will take 18 days to scan the earth
What else can I help you with?

What takes longer to orbit the Sun the Moon or the Earth?
Technically, the moon isn't orbiting the sun. The moon is orbiting the Earth that is orbiting the sun. I guess someone should have paid more attention in elementary school!!!
How many of the satellites orbiting the earth are from the United States?
more than 100
Do you weigh less on earth than in a space ship orbiting 800 kilometers above earth?
No - more on Earth - in orbit you're weightless.
Is there more than one moon orbiting around your planet?
In terms of the earth, there is only one moon orbiting around it. In terms of other planets, some planets, like Mars or Venus and Murcury have no moons. Other's like all the Gas Giants have more than one moon orbiting it.
Can you prove the moon goes round the earth?
Yes Yes, you can because the N.A.S.A prgram has a satellite in space and they can monitor the planets and the moon, so yes you can prove that the moon goes around the earth and the moon is always in the sky every night. =]]] Depends from where you look. According to the Einstein's theory of relativity ... If you stand on the moon, you will find the earth orbiting the moon and so the other heavenly bodies... BUT Earth, being greater in mass... almost 5 times more than our moon ... the total gravitational force of earth is more than that of the moon... almost 5 times more... Hence we consider that the moon is orbiting the earth. Because, generally, More the mass, more stable the object. So if we consider that the earth, having 5 times more mass than moon, as stable or stationary... We conclude that the moon orbits the earth.... But I feel Einstein's Theory of relativity more accurate. Also if we view the phenomenon from the sun, we will find that the moon orbiting the earth, because earth is orbiting the sun...IF WE ASSUME THAT TOO.........ACCORDING TO THE MORE MASS ... MORE STABILITY TECHNIQUE.
Why does the moon orbit the earth intead of the earth orbiting the moon?
The mass of the earth is over 80 times the mass of the moon. A massive object will tend to capture less massive objects in its gravitational field.____________But consider this: if the moon happened to be the same general size and mass as earth, which would orbit which? You would observe them each orbiting around an invisible spot half way between them, their 'system' center of gravity otherwise called the 'barycenter'. They would effectively be orbiting around each other. As the moon becomes less massive, what determines the 'cut-off' between orbiting around each other and the smaller orbiting the larger? In fact it is still true that earth and moon are each orbiting their barycenter. Interestingly, the barycenter in this case is within the body of the earth, because the earth is so much more massive than the earth.
Where is Mars located usually?
In space, orbiting the sun. Its orbital position is fourth, between the Earth and Jupiter or, more specifically, between the Earth and the asteroid belt.
What is the path a Landsat takes around Earth?
Landsat orbits in a sun-synchronous polar orbit, declined at 99 degrees (so 9 degrees from 90). It makes about 14 passes over the Earth every day given its orbital parameters but does not pass over the same spot more than once in 16 days. So essentially, it passes over the Earth roughly north-south many times a day, just about going over the poles and back up again.

What shape is the earth orbiting?
The shape of Earth's orbit becomes more or less oval (eccentricity), Earth wobbles as it spins (precession), and Earth's axis changes too (tilt).
