Man-made satellites are placed into orbit through a process called launch. A rocket carries the satellite into space and, after reaching a specific altitude, the rocket's stages separate, allowing the satellite to continue on its trajectory. Once in the desired orbit, the satellite's onboard systems are activated, and it begins its operational functions. The precise calculations and timing during the launch ensure that the satellite reaches the intended orbit and speed.

What are man-made satellites?

Man-made satellites are artificial objects placed into orbit around Earth or other celestial bodies to perform various functions such as communication, weather monitoring, navigation, and scientific research. They are launched into space by rockets and are designed to orbit the Earth at different altitudes depending on their specific purpose.


Why are the planets considered satellites of sun?

Any body that orbits (goes round) another body is called a satellite of that body. Therefore the Moon is a satellite of the Earth and by definition all the Planets are satellites of the Sun. The term 'satellite' is also used to describe man made devices which have been put into orbit round the Earth - however when we make these go round the Sun or other planets we tend to call them 'probes' in this instance.👍


Could a small satellite orbit the moon?

Satellites have been put into orbit around the moon. A list of them is at the link.


What is the difference between moon and satellite?

The word Moon is a name given to the natural satellite in orbit around the Earth. We attribute this name to most objects large enough to see in orbit around other planets. In this way Moons and Natural Satellites are one in the same. Artifical Satellites are what we put into orbit around the earth IE GPS Satellites, but are man made.


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.

What moves around a planet?

A Satellite. There are man made satellites (equipment or stations put into orbit by a rocket) and natural satellites, which are called moons if large enough.

What are earth's artificial sateillites?

Artificial satellites orbiting Earth are man-made objects launched into space for various purposes such as communication, weather monitoring, navigation, and scientific research. They can be either in geostationary or low Earth orbit, and examples include the Hubble Space Telescope, GPS satellites, and communications satellites.


How are most artificial satellites put into orbit?

By rockets


What are natural or artifial bodies that orbit larger celestial bodies such as planets?

These are called satellites. A lot of planets have natural satellites called moons, which are in orbit around the planet. An artificial satellite is one that is put there by man, it orbits the planet in a similar way.
