Thousands of satellites are in space that help with weather forecasts and communication. Natural space satellites include the Earth and the moon. Usually satellite refers to machines that were launched into space and orbit the Earth or other body in space.

Does the sun have satilites?

No, the sun does not have satellites. Satellites are objects that orbit around a celestial body, like Earth, whereas the sun is a star at the center of our solar system. The planets, including Earth, orbit around the sun.


Do satilites travel in straight lines?

Satellites do not travel in straight lines; instead, they follow curved paths known as orbits due to the gravitational pull of the Earth or other celestial bodies. Their motion is governed by the principles of orbital mechanics, which means they move in elliptical or circular trajectories rather than straight lines. This allows them to maintain a stable position relative to the Earth as they balance gravitational forces with their inertia.


What is infrared imagery How is it used?

Infrared imagery measures the amount of heat in a particulare location. It is often used with satilites to watch whether patterns when there is no light or to determine where over shooting tops are forming in a storm. Colder temperatures are typically white, the darker the color the more cold it is. (This is also true for other infrared devices none wether related such as that of detecting body heat.) Different shades of grey can be used to to determine probably could hieghts and types.
