Why doesnt a geostationary satellite trace a path over the surface of the earth?
A geostationary satellite does not trace a path over the surface of the earth because that is what geostationary means - the satellite is stationary over a point on the Earth.
Is the earth rotating on it's axis?
To the extent that it's simply the imaginary line about which the Earth rotates, no. However, Yes, with time, but relatively to the plane of the Earth's orbit, not to the planet itself. It precesses.
Suppose the gravitation between Earth and the sun suddenly stopped What path would Earth follow?
the earth would rotate the moon or the next closest planet
What is the earth's orbit?
It is the path that takes it round the sun once a year through the four seasons. It is almost circular, with an average radius of 150 million kilometres. More accurately, it is an ellipse with a small eccentricity of 1/60, and is closest to the Sun on 3 January (147.5 million km) and furthest away on 3 July (152.5 million km) each year. An accurate way to draw the Earth's orbit is with a pair of compasses, draw a circle, and then the earth goes round the circle while the sun stays near the centre but is off-centre by 150/60 million km, (2.5 million km). An alternative method using drawing-pins and string gives an almost identical result.
What is coverage angle in satellite communication?
The coordinates to which the earth station antennas must be pointed to communicate with the satellite is called Look angles.There r 2 types of look angles:1. Azimuth angle: Measured eastward from geographic north to the projection of satellite path on the local horizontal plane at the earth station.2.Elevation Angle: Measured upward from local horizontal plane at the earth station to the satellite path.
What is moving in a circular path around a central point called?
An object moving in a circular path around a central point is called an orbit. This type of motion is governed by the centripetal force that keeps the object in its circular path.
What is the circular path the moon takes around the earth?
the orbiteal
What when an object moves in a circular path the net force is called a?
Centripal acceloration is the net force when an object moves in a circular path.
When an object moves in circular path a force keeps that way. This force is called?
The force that keeps an object moving in a circular path is called centripetal force. It acts towards the center of the circular path in order to maintain the object's curved trajectory.
Why does earth move around the sun in horizontal circular path not in vertical circular path?
It depends how you look at it. If you turn your head 90 degrees, you will see a vertical circular path. Note that there is no "up" and "down" in outer space; no preferred direction. The horizontal circular path is the way it is usually presented. This is just a convention.
What is circular motion?
Circular Motion -a motion along a circular path or the motion of an object in a circular Example -blades of a ceiling fan when the fan is switched on. or The motion of body along the circular path is called circular motion
What do you call the circular path around the sun?
Its called an orbit.
Application of uniform motion?
the earth revolves around the sun in a circular path
What is the circular orbit equation used to calculate the motion of objects in a circular path?
The circular orbit equation used to calculate the motion of objects in a circular path is called the centripetal force equation, which is F mv2/r.
What os the earth's path around the sun called?
Earth's path around the Sun is called Earth's Orbit.
What is the acceleration toward the center of a curved or circular path is called what acceleration?
That's called 'centripetal acceleration'. It's the result of the centripetal forceacting on the object on the curved path.
What is the path in which the earth moves around the earth?
this path is called its orbit :)
