Question 21 A satellite on the geostationary orbit can cover as much as half of the earth's surface.?
Yes; it is fairly far away, so it can cover almost half the Earth's surface - but not quite.
How far was sputnik above the earth?
Sputnik had an elliptical orbit. At it farthest distance from the surface of Earth it was 583 miles. At the nearest to the surface it was 134 miles.
The process of collecting data about earth from far above earths surface?
Remote sensing.
How long does it take to build a satellite?
The time it takes to put together a satellite varies on the size and structure of the satellite. A simple satellite could be put together in a couple of months, where a large science mission could take ten or more years.
Why do artificial satellites not fall?
. The speed of the satellite is adjusted so that it falls to earth at the same rate that the curve of the earth falls away from the satellite. The satellite is perpetually falling, but it never hits the ground!
Is the moon in a geostationary orbit about the earth?
No. A satellite in geostationary orbit remains stationary over a single point on the earth's equator. It must have an altitude of 22,236 miles above the earth, which makes its orbital period exactly one day. The moon is much too far away for that; its orbital period is 28 earth days.
How far is the Dish Satellite from the earth?
22,300 miles above earth in an orbit speed that is the same as the earth so it appears stationary. It is located in the western hemisphere slightly south over the pacific ocean
How far away are satelites from earth?
Satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) are typically around 160-2,000 kilometers away from the Earth's surface. Geostationary satellites, on the other hand, orbit at an altitude of about 35,786 kilometers above the equator.
How far must a geostationary communication satellite orbit?
Geo-stationary communication satellites are 35,768 Km far from earth surface at an equatorial latitiude.
Question 21 A satellite on the geostationary orbit can cover as much as half of the earth's surface.?
Yes; it is fairly far away, so it can cover almost half the Earth's surface - but not quite.
How far above the earth does the spacestation orbit?
The ISS orbits at an altitude of 400 km (250 miles) above Earth.
How far above earth does the hubble space telescope orbit?
The Hubble Space Telescope is 600km above the Earth's surface.
How far away are satellites?
Satellites in low Earth orbit are typically around 200-2,000 kilometers (125-1,240 miles) above Earth's surface, while geostationary satellites are about 35,786 kilometers (22,236 miles) away. Other satellites can be at varying distances depending on their specific orbit and mission.
How far above the earth surface stupnikin orbit?
Stupnikin orbit does not exist. Do you mean the Sputnik orbit? The Sputnik 1 satellite orbited Earth at an altitude of approximately 215 to 939 kilometers (133 to 583 miles) above the Earth's surface.
What satellite whose orbit is synchronized with the rotation of the earth?
Its called a geostationary satellite. Its quite far out, meaning its 24 hour orbit is quite long when compared with satellites closer in to earth. Is appears stationary in our skies, in the same spot throughout its orbit. This makes it a lot easier to track, a fixed dish can be used.
How far above earth is vanguard 1?
Vanguard 1 is located in a medium Earth orbit at an altitude of approximately 600 miles (960 kilometers) above the Earth's surface.
How far would an astronaut travel in 24 hours if he orbited earth every 2 hours?
This depends on how high above the earth his orbit is. It is not the speed of his orbit which determines his distance travelled - the orbit is a circle and the perimeter of the circle (distance travelled) depends on the radius (height above the earth) of that circle.
