What is the inclination of a satellite to the earths equator?
There is no set inclination of a satellites orbit to the earth's equator. Once in space, the spin of the earth or where it's poles happen to be become irrelevant to the satellite. Many satellites like spy and weather satellites orbit over the two poles (north and south) while communication satellites are placed in orbit directly above the equator at a height that is synchronised with the earth's orbit. This way they stay permanently above the same place on the equator and do not APPEAR to move at all.
What kind of satellites orbit the earth?
communication satellites, astronomy, navigation, etc.
The satellites of Uranus revolve around the planet in planes almost what to its orbit?
The satellites of Uranus revolve around the planet in planes almost perpendicular to its orbit.
Is the geosynchronous satellites above the equator is follow an elliptical orbit?
All satellites follow an elliptical orbit - they are darn close to circular, but even a circle is an ellipse.
How many GPS Satellites does the US Deptartment of Defense have?
There are currently 30 healthy GPS satellites in orbit.
Where do communications satellites orbit?
Communication satellites orbit around the Earth.Communication satellites orbit around the Earth.Communication satellites orbit around the Earth.Communication satellites orbit around the Earth.
How do communication satellites get into orbit?
Communication satellites are lifted into orbit by rockets.
What To move in a path around a object is to?
"orbit"
How do GPS satellite systems orbit?
GPS satellites orbit the Earth at an altitude of about 20,000 km in medium Earth orbit (MEO). They move in precise paths to ensure global coverage and are spaced evenly to provide accurate positioning data. The satellites follow elliptical orbits that repeat every 12 hours.
Does dbs also known as direct broadcast satellite such as directv and dishtv orbit in a geosynchronous orbit?
Yes, the satellites orbit in a geosynchronous orbit, as with most all communications satellites. (Some exceptions are satellites such as the global positioning satellites.)
What is the tv satellites orbit called?
The tv satellites orbit called is a geo stationery.
How do satellites move?
A Satellite movement behaves in two ways. Its orbit may be defined either as "geosynchronous" or "geostationary". Geosynchronous satellites move together with the Earth's own orbit, so it revolves in the same way as the earth is. Geostationary satellites remain statically in place for a certain coordinate...
Why do planets and satellites orbit the sun?
Planets and satellites orbit the sun due to the gravitational pull of the sun. This gravitational force keeps them in their respective orbits as they move through space. The balance between the inertia of the planets/satellites and the gravitational force of the sun results in stable orbits.
What do you call satellites that orbit various planets?
Those are called planetary satellites or natural satellites. Each planet has its own set of natural satellites that orbit around it.
What is the name of the orbit that allows satellites to orbit the earth but yet appear stationary?
The Earth orbit in which satellites appear to be stationary is called the, "Geostationary Orbit". Some call it a synchronous orbit.
How many satellites orbit Saturn?
there is no satellites orbiting Saturn
Do all space satellites stay in the thermosphere?
No. That only applies to low Earth orbit. Geostationary satellites orbit beyond it.
