How many satellites are needed to provide a place on earth?
If the question is regarding finding the latidude and longitude of one point on the earth, the answer is a minimum of three satellites. The method used is called triangulation. If you wish to know the altitude of the point, a minimum of four satellites are needed.
Why does g.p.s. need 4 satellites?
GPS needs signals from at least 4 satellites to accurately calculate a 3D position on Earth. By receiving signals from multiple satellites, the GPS device can triangulate its position using the known positions of the satellites. This allows for highly accurate location determination.
What type of clocks are on the satellites?
Atomic clocks or rubidium clocks are commonly used in satellites for precise timekeeping. These clocks are highly accurate and stable, allowing satellites to track their position and perform various operations with precision.
How many artificial satellites does Uranus have?
Uranus has 27 known artificial satellites as of now. These satellites are typically referred to by numbers rather than names.
How many satellites are functional in the space?
1,200
At least how many satellites are needed to calculate the position?
It takes at least 3 satellites.
How many satellites do you need to have a full GPS signal?
A minimum of 4 satellites is needed to obtain a full GPS signal. These satellites are used to triangulate your position accurately on Earth.
How many GPS satellites are required to triangulate a plan-form position?
You would need at least three GPS satellites to pinpoint your location. However, you would need a fourth to also identify your elevation.
How many satellites does the receiver need to be fixed on in order to know it's position?
A GPS receiver typically needs signals from at least 3 satellites to calculate a 2D position (latitude and longitude) and 4 or more satellites for a 3D position (latitude, longitude, and altitude). The receiver uses the signals from multiple satellites to triangulate its position on Earth.
Name and position of satellites are in the sky?
There are thousands of satellites; most of them change their position rather fast.There are thousands of satellites; most of them change their position rather fast.There are thousands of satellites; most of them change their position rather fast.There are thousands of satellites; most of them change their position rather fast.
How does a satllite use a magnetic field?
Satellites use Earth's magnetic field for orientation and stability. By sensing the magnetic field, satellites can determine their orientation in space and adjust their position if needed. This helps them maintain their intended orbit and alignment for successful operation.

How does a GPS function work?
There are many satellites that are positioned in the lower atmosphere. They relay their position by transmitting a "beacon" signal to a ground or water based station. When you have 3 or more satellites using a beacon, you can triangulate your position by using simple trigonometric geometric calculations. If you can obtain more satellites, then your position is more accurate. Many devices limit the number of satellites that they try to pick up the beacon because of the battery drain. Most devices on the common market are good to about 30 meters or 100 ft. GPS satellites are maintained in orbit by using very small thrusters and powered by solar and/or extra powerful batteries.
How many minimum number of geostationary satellite needed for uninterrupted global coverage?
In theory, 2 satellites in diametrically opposite geosynchronous orbits could cover the planet. In order for the satellites to communicate, a minimum of 3 would be needed, each at a 60 degree angle to the others. At this point, the strength and quality of coverage increases proportionally to the number of satellites.
How many satellites does Io have?
It has 3 satellites!
How many geo stationary satellites are needed to cover the earth at a time?
Please be a little more precise in your meaning when you say "cover" the Earth. For radio or TV communications, three satellites in geosynchronous orbit will be visible from any inhabitable locale on the planet. (The polar regions aren't really "inhabitable", and aren't visible from GEO. ) For navigational purposes, more are required. The GPS system requires line-of-site to FOUR satellites at one time in order to give a good "fix" of your position; the USAF uses 27 satellites to accomplish this, anywhere on the Earth.
