Why can't we see satellites orbiting?
You can see satellites orbiting. If you go on a clear night to somewhere which is far from city lights, you will sometimes see dots moving across the sky - these are satellites reflecting sunlight.
What are the 5 types of artificial satellites?
The five major types of artificial satellites are: research, communications, weather, navigational, and applications. Please see the related links.
How can satellites see through clouds and smoke?
Satellites equipped with synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensors can penetrate clouds and smoke by emitting their own microwave signals that can pass through these obstacles and reflect off of the Earth's surface. By analyzing the return signal, satellites can create images of the ground beneath the clouds or smoke. Additionally, satellites with thermal infrared sensors can detect temperature differences caused by fires or heat sources even through clouds or smoke.
Can satellites see through buildings?
Satellites cannot see through buildings in the traditional sense. However, some advanced satellites can use technology such as synthetic aperture radar (SAR) to detect changes in the ground surface that may indicate underground structures or tunnels. This technology is used primarily for geospatial mapping and monitoring, rather than seeing directly through buildings.
How do satellites transfer information to television?
satellites must transmit all their information to the earth down .satellites transmit information gathered by their sensors during each contact with the ground station. They contact the station using a large dish antennae which is situated on earth, at the site of the ground station. During the contacts between the satellite and ground station the satellites usually transmit information about the state of its various subsystems abd its position in space.

Space satellites are powered by what?
they are powered by ground control on earth
Space satellites are powered by?

What is the best method of verifying data gathered by satellites?
ground truthing
What would be useful for studying cloud cover?
Satellites and ground stations.
How do satellites pass information to people on the ground?
By means of radio communication.
Data is sent to earth from satellites using what type of numbers?
Data is sent to earth from satellites using TIROS. This is data given from the ground.
What advantage do weather satellites have over ground based weather stations?
They are not affected by conditions on the ground. Ground-based stations could be destroyed by severe weather (such as tornadoes or hurricanes). Satellites don't get affected by Earth's weather. Of course - satellites are at risk of meteor strike and solar radiation - but there's less chance of them being damaged.

Are the landsat satellites positioned 700 kilometres above the ground?
Closer to 900km.
