The planet Earth upon which we live has precisely one natural satellite, which is known as the moon, or Luna, and it has a great many artificial satellites, including the International Space Station, communication satellites, surveillance satellites, global positioning satellites, etc.
What else can I help you with?
What are three types of artificial satellites?
Communication satellites: these are used to transmit television, radio, telephone, and internet signals. Navigation satellites: like the GPS system, these help determine location and provide accurate time information. Weather satellites: used to monitor weather patterns and provide important data for weather forecasting.
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 are the three man made satellites?
Three well-known man-made satellites are the International Space Station (ISS), the Hubble Space Telescope, and the Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites.
What do you call satellites that orbit various planets?
Those are called planetary satellites or natural satellites. Each planet has its own set of natural satellites that orbit around it.
What is a group of satellites called?
A group of satellites is commonly referred to as a "constellation." These satellites work together to provide various services such as communication, navigation, and Earth observation. Examples of well-known satellite constellations include the Global Positioning System (GPS) and the Starlink constellation.
What interferes with earths satellites?
rocks
Why are three Saturn's satellites called shepherd moons?
They keep Saturn's rings in order.
Why are satellites used in remote sensing?
remote sensing satellites develop highly detailed and accurate maps on earths surface.
What is the method for finding latitude and longitude longitude and elevation of points on earths surface by using networks of satellites called?
The network of satellites operated and maintained by the USA is the Global Positioning System (GPS). There are other systems, comprised of other constellations of satellites, and operated and maintained by other countries.
Why satellites launched in east side?
Satellites are launched in east direction to use earths rotational velocity and to reduce launch energy.
Landsat satellites use what to make detailed images of earths surface?
g
How do satellites triangulate?
Triangulation of satellites requires three satellites that bank of one another simultaneously.
Are moons satellites?
Yes but they are called natural satellites

Are satellites orbiting earths gravity?
No. They orbit Earth; and the reason they orbit is because of gravity.
What is the tv satellites orbit called?
