1 kilometer = 0.621371192 miles
Geostationary satellites are typically around 36,000 kilometers above the earth.
Microwaves travel at the speed of light (186,000 mph) but only in a vacuum.
Through air they are a bit slower.
If you sent a microwave from the corresponding latitude on the equator, 75 degrees west for instance, ina perfect environment, at light speed, it would take about 7 minutes and 13 seconds.

How long does it take a signal to reach a satellite in low Earth orbit?
From Earth to an orbiting satellite it takes approximately 200 to 299million M/S or slightly slower than the speed oflight. This varies on weather and atmospheric conditions. The signal is significantly faster, or closer to the speed of light (299792458 M/S), in the Vacuum of Outer Space.
What technologies allowed radio signals to reach a wider geographical range?
satellite
How long does it take for a satellite to get to space?
It typically takes a few minutes for a satellite to reach space after launch. The exact time can vary depending on the launch vehicle and the specific orbit the satellite is being deployed into.
Who was the first country to reach space?
The Soviet Union was the first country to reach space with the launch of the satellite Sputnik 1 on October 4, 1957.
How does gravity affect a satellite launch?
Gravity affects a satellite launch by pulling the satellite towards the Earth during its initial phase of ascent. This requires the rocket to generate enough thrust to overcome gravity in order to reach the desired orbit. Once the satellite is in orbit, gravity continues to affect its trajectory, helping to keep it in orbit around the Earth.
What is a polar highly elliptical satellite used for?
It is used for communication plates where geostationary satellites can't reach, in polar areas. Russia uses elliptical satellites where the geostationary satellites can't reach.
Is it work in the rain?
No it does not reach signal to the huge satellite
What is the Round Trip time of a RF signal for GEO satellites?
the speed of light = 299792458 m / sGEO (Geostationary Earth Orbit) = 35863000 m above the Earth's surfaceround trip time = 2*(35863000)/299792458 =0.239 sthe time needed for an RF signal to reach a GEO satellite and gets retransmitted back to a ground station on earth is approximately 240 milliseconds(assuming zero signal propagation/processing time in the satellite and equatorial ground station location with the same longitude as the satellite slot)
What is the maximum temperature that a microwave can reach when heating food?
A microwave can reach a maximum temperature of around 212 degrees Fahrenheit when heating food.
What does a gps satelite do?
A GPS satellite continuously broadcasts signals that allow GPS receivers on the ground to determine their location by measuring the time it takes for the signal to reach them. The satellites also transmit their own precise position and time data to help the receivers calculate their exact location on Earth accurately.

Why do signal of satellite TV disappear when it rain?
Satellite signals are transmitted from a satellite above the earth's atmosphere. To reach the satellite dish, they need to pass through the atmosphere. Normally, the signals pass without a problem but they can be affected by clouds and rain. Most satellite receivers receive enough signal even in times of atmospheric disturbance but extreme weather may disrupt the signal enough to prevent reception. If the problem is happening on a regular basis, it might be worth checking the alignment of the dish and the LNB (the receiver unit on the arm in front of the dish). If the dish is mis-aligned even by a very small amount, it will not receive a full strength signal so poor weather will affect the quality of the signal more than normal. Checking the alignment is a very quick job for a satellite installer (and much slower for most other people). If alignment doesn't help, it's time to check the cable from the dish to the receiver inside.
What does Einstein's theory of relativity have to do with the GPS system?
GPS receivers calculate your position using a timing signal which is sent from a number of different satellites. By knowing the time taken by each signal to reach you the receiver can calculate the distance from each satellite and hence your position. Using, distance from satellite = speed of light X time of travel. Inorder to very accurately know the time taken for the signal to reach you it is necessary to correct for the fact that time passes more slowly in a gravitational field. For example, time passes faster for a satellite far away from the earth where gravity is slightly weaker. This is were Einstein's General relativity is used - it can describe how time changes with position in gravtitional field.
How many years will a satellite to reach Pluto?
It takes 9 years, and the first satellite will reach Pluto in 2015. The satellite was launched on January 9, 2006. I cannot wait till we find out the deep secrets of Pluto...
Why do radio waves change to another wave to reach a satellite in space?
Radiation can move through space because it is made up of light. Unlike sound, it doesn't need a medium (something it can go through) and it can travel through the vacuum. Only light can do this, and radiation can also move through air, obviously.
How hot does a microwave get when it is in use?
A microwave can reach temperatures of around 212 degrees Fahrenheit (100 degrees Celsius) when in use.
Which type of electromagnet radiation is used in satellite communication networks?
Microwaves. These poke through the ionosphere to reach the satellite
