What type of orbit does a weather satellite have and why?
The polar orbit so that it can measure cold and hot points around the entire earth :)
Why is a polar orbit useful for surveying purposes?
it carries the the satellite over the earths north and south poles
What are the main differences between geostationary orbit and polar orbit?
A polar orbit is an Orbit in which a Satellite passes above or nearly above both of the Geographical poles of the body (usually a planet such as the Earth, but possibly another body such as the Sun being orbited on each revolution. It therefore has an Inclination of (or very close to) 90 degrees to the Equator. Except in the special case of a polar Geosynchronous orbit, a satellite in a polar orbit will pass over the equator at a different Longitude on each of its orbits.A geostationary orbit (GEO) is a circular orbit directly above the Earth's Equator From the ground, a geostationary object appears motionless in the sky and is therefore the Orbit of most interest to operators of Communication Satellites. Their orbital periods (time taken to revolve around earth) is exactly the same as the planet's (such as Earth's) rotational period. The Geosynchronous orbit is approximately 36,000 km above Earth's surface.geostionary satellites are positioned at an exact height above the earth, at this height they orbit the earth at the same speed at which the earth rotates on its axis whereas polar satellites have a much lower orbit, orbiting the earth quite quickly, scanning different areas of the earth at fairly infrequent periods.
What is polar satelite?
Which are usually launched in polar orbite and these polar orbit lie around north and south poles of earth and their angle with equitorial plane is 90'
What type of satellite orbits perpendicular to the earths equator?
polar satallite
Is the orbit for a tv satellite called a polar orbit?
A polar orbit (as opposed to an equatorial orbit) passes over the poles, north and south. A low orbit is relatively close to the Earth (or other object being orbited), it might be a few hundred miles up.
Some satellites are put into an orbit around the earths poles what is this type of orbit called?
A satellite orbiting around the Earth's poles is in a polar orbit. This type of orbit allows the satellite to pass over different parts of the Earth as it rotates below. Polar orbits are often used for Earth observation and surveillance satellites.
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.
What type of orbit does a weather satellite have and why?
The polar orbit so that it can measure cold and hot points around the entire earth :)
What orbit would allow a satellite to see all parts of the globe?
A geostationary orbit would allow a satellite to see all parts of the globe as it orbits the Earth at the same speed that the Earth rotates. This means the satellite remains fixed above the same point on the equator, providing continuous coverage of that area.
What are two uses o satellite in low polar orbit?
Primarily photo or radar reconnaissance.
Which type of satellite is best suited for detailed analysis of a complex weather system?
Polar Orbit
What is a polar orbit used for?
A polar orbit is used for various purposes, such as Earth observation, weather monitoring, and environmental research. It provides global coverage as it allows a satellite to pass over the entire surface of the Earth while remaining in a north-south direction. This type of orbit is particularly useful for capturing images of the entire planet or studying changes in polar regions.
What is the difference between sun synchronous polar orbit and a synchronous polar orbit?
A synchronous polar orbit satallite crosses the equator at the same time each day while the sun synchronous polar satellite appears in the sky at the same time every few days. the sun synchronous allow for greater temporal and spatial monitoring under same conditions and also have finer resolution as the polar synchronous imagery is at the continental scale.
Why is a polar orbit useful for surveying purposes?
it carries the the satellite over the earths north and south poles
What is polar orbit and geo-stationary orbit?
A satellite in polar orbit passes over the poles.A geosynchronous orbit follows the equator and at such an altitude its orbital period is one day long and remains in the same position relative to the ground.
What is a polar satellite State two uses of a polar satellite?
A polar satellite is a type of satellite that orbits the Earth in a north-south direction, passing over both poles. Two uses of polar satellites are weather forecasting, as they can provide global coverage of weather patterns, and environmental monitoring, such as tracking changes in ice caps and studying climate change.
