What else can I help you with?
A satellite in a low earth orbit moving faster than a satellite in a geosynchronous orbit?
YES As height increases, speed of satellite decreases.
What force keeps satellite in orbit around the Earth?
There is only one main force acting on a satellite when it is in orbit, and that is the gravitational force.
What is an equatorial satellite?
A satellite in an equatorial orbit flies along the plane of the Earth's equator. If an orbit does not lie at an equatorial orbit, then it will not remain at a fixed state.
What is repitivity and revisit of satellite orbit?
The repetitivity and revisit of satellite orbit refers to the time elapsed between observations of the same point on earth by a satellite. It usually depends with the target location, the orbit of the satellite and the swath of the sensor.
A satellite is built on Earth and then placed into orbit. Which statement correctly completes the following sentence?
a satellite is built on earth and then placed into orbit. which statement correctly completes the following sentence
What is a geo synchronus satellite?
A geosynchronous satellite is a satellite in geosynchronous orbit, with an orbital period the same as the Earth's rotation period.
How orbital speed of a satellite depends on its radius?
The larger the orbit, the longer the period of revolution. The Space Shuttle, when it is in orbit, revolves once around the earth in about 90 minutes. The moon ... and any other satellite at a distance of about a quarter million miles from earth ... takes about 27 days to revolve once around the earth.
How long does it take for a satellite to circle around the earth?
The time it takes for a satellite to complete one full orbit around the Earth, known as its orbital period, can vary depending on the altitude of the satellite. On average, a satellite in low Earth orbit (LEO) typically takes about 90 minutes to complete one orbit, while a geostationary satellite orbits the Earth every 24 hours.
Why is Jupiters period revolution?
Jupiter's period of revolution, or its orbit around the Sun, takes about 12 Earth years because it is located farther from the Sun than Earth. This means it has a larger orbit and travels a greater distance in its path around the Sun.
What is the name of the orbit of the satellite around the earth?
A Geostationary orbit - it means that the satellite will always stay above the same point on Earth. Hope that helps
What is satellite swath?
The area of the earth which is imaged during a satellite orbit is referred to as the satellite swath and can range in width from ten to hundreds ofkilometers. As the satellite orbits the earth a different area is covered due to the earth's rotation. The elevation of the satellite orbit is designed so that the same location will be retraced (imaged) in a period of several weeks.
What is the period of revolution of Mercury?
It takes Mercury 88 Earth days to make one full orbit (or revolution) around the sun.
What is saturns period of revolution length of 1 year?
Saturn's period of revolution, or its time to orbit around the Sun, is about 29.5 Earth years.
How is a weather satellite in polar orbit able to view Earths surface?
From the question, I'm guessing that when the questioner reads the term "polar orbit", he's picturing the satellite doing a little tiny circle in the sky over the North Pole. This is not an accurate understanding of the term. Remember that the center of the orbit of an artificial satellite has to be at the center of the earth. A 'polar orbit' is an orbit that covers both poles. If you picture the globe of the earth, the satellite's orbit is a circle standing up, with the satellite traveling up and down, passing over both poles in each complete revolution of the earth. As the earth rotates, every point on earth passes under the orbit, and sooner or later, every point on earth will be visible from the satellite.
The period of a satellite is defined as..?
The period of a satellite is the time it takes for the satellite to complete one orbit around its parent body, such as a planet or a star. It is typically measured in hours, days, or years depending on the size and speed of the satellite's orbit. The period is determined by the satellite's orbital velocity and the mass of the parent body it is orbiting.
How long does it take sputnik to orbit the earth?
No Sputniks are still in orbit. When they were, the period of an orbit was about 88 minutes.
What is path satellite takes around earth?
Satellites typically orbit Earth in elliptical or circular paths. The specific path depends on the satellite's purpose and altitude. Low Earth orbit satellites circle the Earth more quickly, while geostationary satellites orbit at the same rate as the Earth's rotation, appearing to stay stationary in the sky.
