Free Space Loss is the primary source of signal loss in satellites. As the signal propagates through the atmosphere it disperses. With normal terrestrial antennas, the distance is so short that this is rarely an issue. However, the great distances that satellites must communicate over make this a major problem for global space-based communication.

How does satellite operates through the use of gravity?

Satellites operate through the use of gravity because the force of gravity on the satellite results in circular motion around the earth or any other celestial body, and if that force was too big it would cause the satellite to come crashing down and if it were too small the satellite would just go flying off into space


What are the causes of communication gap?

First of all there are different ways to communicate. There is texting, phone and face to face communication among many others. Let me make this clear: I am addressing face to face communication. When we are talking about 'lack of communication' then we must address most of all direct encounters. The primary cause for the lack of face to face comminication is the fear of angry exchanges. We all tend to back off from a fight. But this is exactly why this fear is the main cause of a lack of communication. We are afraid to cause anger, for anger will disturb what might be called our "need to find approval." But often it is anger, a free exchange of our position on a problem, that is the essential ingrediant of problem solving. And relationships can only exist if we get into the habit of consistently resolving differences. There is a whole section about problem solving called 'The Tools' in "Marriages, Shack-Ups and Other Disasters" - see web link below. I would suggest that you check out 'The Framing of Anger' in particular.

How do an artificial satellite help in Television transmission over a large area?

Mainly because of the curvature of the Earth. If you want to send a signal from one city to another 300 kilometres away by aiming directly at that city, it would end up travelling through the ground as the planet curves which would cause a loss of signal. By sending it to a satellite, both cities have a clear line of sight and as a result, there is very little signal loss.
