How many points are neede to triangulate an earthquake?
To triangulate the epicenter of an earthquake 3 points are required.
What are the name of satellites of planet Mercury?
There are no known satellites of Mercury.
How accurate is satellite navigation compared to gps?
Satellite Navigation is just as accurate as GPS, having a 1-10 meter buffer zone. Both use a similar system, having satellites in orbit to triangulate a position. Satellite Navigation, better known as GLONASS, is used mostly by the Soviet Union while GPS, is use worldwide and the widest used system.
What is RF tracking as compared to satellites?
I'm assuming you are talking about GPS when you say "satellite." RF tracking can be directional. It takes three RF receiver stations to triangulate the position of an RF transmitter and is usually less accurate than GPS. RF is also more limited by range, so the RF tracking stations are usually required to be mobile depending on the strength of the transmission signal.
Are moons satellites?
Yes but they are called natural satellites
How do you use GPS in a sentence?
GPS is an abbreviation of Global Positioning System, a receiving system that utilises regulated signals sent from geostationary satellites to triangulate its location upon the Earth.
Can all shapes triangulate?
No. Any shape with a curved side cannot triangulate.
How do satellite phones operate?
Satellite phones or Satphones mainly operate by connecting to satellites in orbit that can range from a certain region to the entire earth. Satellite phones will use an average of 3 satellites to triangulate ones location to then transfer voice, text messages, and internet services.
How many points are neede to triangulate an earthquake?
To triangulate the epicenter of an earthquake 3 points are required.
How many GPS satellites are required to triangulate a plan-form position?
You would need at least three GPS satellites to pinpoint your location. However, you would need a fourth to also identify your elevation.
When was Triangulate cobweb spider created?
Triangulate cobweb spider was created in 1802.
How is trigonometry use in the field of navigation?
Spherical trigonometry is used to locate places on the earth's surface. All maps are based on trigonometry.Global Positioning Systems (GPS) depends on three or more satellites picking up radio signals from your device. Trigonometry is then used to triangulate your position - that is, determine where you are in relation to each of the satellites. This gives your current location, from which you can navigate to your destination.
How does a GPS function work?
There are many satellites that are positioned in the lower atmosphere. They relay their position by transmitting a "beacon" signal to a ground or water based station. When you have 3 or more satellites using a beacon, you can triangulate your position by using simple trigonometric geometric calculations. If you can obtain more satellites, then your position is more accurate. Many devices limit the number of satellites that they try to pick up the beacon because of the battery drain. Most devices on the common market are good to about 30 meters or 100 ft. GPS satellites are maintained in orbit by using very small thrusters and powered by solar and/or extra powerful batteries.
Is the GPS locator on a cell phone always on?
The short answer is no. A cell phone usually uses the carrier's antennas to triangulate the signal and provide the current position of the user; so when there are less antennas to triangulate, the poorer will be the quality of the signal. When there are no antennas, the cell phone won't be able to work as a GPS. However, if the phone does have a specific GPS chip inside, it will use satellites to give the position. Provided that there is not too much interference, it will work as long as the phone is powered.
How reliable is GPS navigation really?
Most GPS devices are accurate to within 10-15 feet (3-15 meters) of a target and will be this accurate about 95% of the time. This can change depending on whether the GPS has a clear view of the sky and is able to triangulate properly between satellites.
What does a gps do?
It receives signals from a series of satellites to triangulate a position on the earth's surface. Height and time are also available from the system. Accuracy of position is usually about 5m, but the military equipment can get greater accuracy. USA and Europr have different satellites. See also "LORAN" MOCGPS helps user get their co-ordinates (Position on the Maps). it also helps people lost in the middle of nowhere to get back home, by using navigation.
What do global positioning system send to give users their precise locations?
A GPS device relies on a space based satellite navigation system that provides location and time information in all weather conditions, anywhere on or near the Earth where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites. It was developed in 1973 to overcome the limitations of previous navigation systems.
