What happens if a satellite slows down?
If a satellite slows down, it will start to move closer to Earth as gravity becomes more dominant. This can lead to its orbit decaying and potentially reentering the Earth's atmosphere. Additionally, a slowdown could affect the satellite's ability to maintain its position for communication or observation purposes.
Moons and satellites in earth?
The Earth has one moon, called the Moon. However, the term "satellite" is used more broadly in astronomy to refer to any natural or artificial object that orbits around a larger object. So, technically, the Moon could be considered a natural satellite of Earth.
What is a satellite that stays in one location is called?
No satellites stays exactly still as they could not remain in orbit, but probably you are meaning a geostationary satellite. The orbit of these satellites matches the speed of the earth turning underneath them, so they remain above the same geographical point on the earth.
Given that a satellite signal travels at the speed of light exactly how long does it take for a signal to go from the Earth to a satellite in geosynchronous orbit and back to Earth Show the calculat?
The speed of light is equal to approximately 186,000 miles per second. Geosynchronous-Earth-orbit satellites are found 22,300 miles from Earth and are always positioned over the same point on Earth. The signal has to go to the satellite which is 22,300 miles up, and then back to Earth which is 22,300 miles back. So the total distance traveled is 44,600 miles. To get the amount of time it takes simply do 44,600/186,000 = approximately .23978 seconds. Or you could say 239.78 milliseconds. Hope this helps. JB
Why could you also say that earth is a satellite?
The Earth orbits the sun and therefore could be described as a satellite of the sun.
What was the first satellite for?
The first satellite (Sputnik I) was launched by the USSR (Russia) to demonstrate that they could launch a satellite into Earth orbit.
How could one get a satellite view of Earth online?
Google Earth is the most popular and user friendly website to get a satellite view of Earth online. The National Geographic website also offers additional views of the Earth, including satellite views.
What is a satellite that orbits earth?
If by satellite you mean an object that orbits the earth, then the Moon is a satellite of the earth. There are thousands of other satellites put into orbit by both private and public organizations used for everything from GPS to communication and even you TV service.
What is mean by Mark 3 in GSLV Mk 3?
The Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle is under the development by the Indian Space Research Organization. The Mark 2 could only lift 2500Kg into low earth orbit (LEO) while the Mark 3 can lift 10000Kg. Mk is just a series(version) number - sort how Microsoft labels its different OS's.
Some satellites orbit every 24 hours if you could see this satellite from the ground with a telescope what would you notice?
You would see the satellite in the same direction all the time. The satellite is supposed to move around the Earth at the same speed as Earth's rotation.
Why do satallites have to stay in the equotorial plane?
Staying at the "same point" (i.e., above the same location on Earth) is onlyimportant for a Geosynchronous satellite, which must occupy a very high orbit.Most satellites (and the International Space Station) are in lower orbits, whichmeans they orbit the Earth faster than it rotates, so they don't stay in thesame place.===================================Answer #1:Now to deal with the question . . .If the satellite is going to be used by non-technical people with little 'dishes'on the corner of their house or garage, it's important that they not need tomove their dish to follow the satellite across the sky. If people couldn't "setit and forget it", there would be no Dish network or Direct TV or any of theothers, because very few customers would be willing to do what it takes tokeep their dish tracking the satellite. Sure it could be automated, with amotorized mechanism that constantly steers the dish to follow the satellite.But that would cost 20 times what those dinky dishes cost now, and again,the operators would not "have a business". The only way that this wholescheme of satellite-direct-to-the-home can work is to make the satellitemotionless in the sky. The installer comes to your house, mounts the dish,'finds' the satellite, points the dish in that direction, and locks it permanentlyin that position. That's the only way the business model can work.
What is negative about satellites?
If a meteor was coming directly at a satellite, it could cause destruction, which can affect Earth.
Is around the earth an adverb or an adjective?
It could be either.The satellite flew around the Earth. (adverb)The radiation belt around the Earth can affect satellites. (adjective)
What is the main job of a rocket?
to go up into the atmosphere and turn into a satellite so it could get information about the Earth.
Which could cause a satellite to descend low enough that it burns up in earth's atmosphere?
air resistance
